Just as SimDonia has changed greatly throughout the years, so has the fashion and trends. The clothes of SimDonia's past tell a story about the country's rich and complicated history. Join us on a little journey exploring SimDonia Stlye and the impact politics played on the popular fashions of that age.

During this time in history, SimDonia was not yet formed. The region was referred to as Pendula View and was ruled by The Goths under a strict dictatorship. Under The Goth empire, poverty ran rapid, wealth disparity was high, and morale was low. Every month, supplies were distributed to all the citizens of Pendula View by the government. These parcels included things like milk, eggs, fabric, etc. The more acres your family owned, the more you would recieve.

Working Class - For working class families who owned little land, they never recieved much from their monthly parcels or would get the scraps. These folks would use the fabric they recieved or whatever they could obtain to make clothing which was often poorly stitched and plain-looking. Modesty was expected for women and pants were not yet introduced. So women tended to their farms, homes, and families in long-sleeved, floor-length dresses.

Wealthy Class - While wealthier women were able to acquire better fabrics, and have their clothes made for them, they still had to be modest and wear their hair up. Bella Goth was said to be jealous and vain and always wanted to be the best looking woman in the land.

Wedding Wear - Women were not permitted to wear makeup (although many wealthy women were able to bypass this rule), except on their wedding day. Modest clothing was still in place. Flowers were often worn in the hair to signify a blossoming and beautiful marriage.

The people of Pendula View eventually could no longer take the treatment they were facing at the hands of The Goths. This started the SimDonia Revolutionary War where the people fought for their country. This brought hard times for everyone, but we can see trends in fashion reflect in what was going on at the time.

Working Class - The most active, loudest, and bravest voices during the revolution came from the working class as they fought to liberate themselves. In terms of fashion, we started to see short sleeved dresses versus the traditional and mandated long sleeve. This was an act of rebellion including wearing the hair down instead of up.

Wealthy Class - Wealthy folks were conflicted. They did not want their lives derailed or their fortunes in jeopardy due to the revolution, but they also relied on the working class for labor often paying little to nothing or even bartering supplies for services like making clothes, tending to children, working their lands, etc. This conflict brought on the off-the-shoulder dress trend where women would show solidarity with revolutionaries by bearing their shoulders, but would quickly pull their sleeves up when among those against the war.

Wedding Wear - The short sleeve trend followed into wedding attire, but so did another. Women feared their dress would warrant punishment from the government, so they began to wear veils to conceal themselves as to be harder to detect.

The Goths have been defeated! Huzzah! This was a time of celebration in SimDonia as the new government system was formed for the people by the people! SimDonia pride was high, wealth was better distributed, and morale was skyrocketing.

Working Class - Gone were the monthly parcels and low paying jobs! Poverty was at an all-time-low! So, we saw more working class folks in higher quality, better stitched, more colorful fabrics (SimDonia red was ultra popular at the time). Short sleeve dresses were here to stay!

Wealthy Class - The war efforts did little to benefit the rich who relied on cheap labor. With more working class folks coming up in the world, it meant wealthy women had to differentiate themselves. As working class grew more lavish, so did wealthy folks with big ballgowns and even better fabrics.

Wedding Wear - Dress became more lavish for weddings as well. Veils are still popular but are now worn behind instead of covering the face. Jacobanism was able to be practiced openly. Jewelry was also now allowed to be worn in grew in popularity with all people.

This period of time is known as the experimental phases of SimDonia fashion. The society was still new and establishing itself. The increase in wealth meant more education. Seeing as SimDonia had not yet built a university, students went abroad which opened SimDonians up to new cultures and styles not done before. Many which were brought back to SimDonia and incorporated into SimDonia style.

Working Class - Many students studied in Simerica, Komorebi, Selvadorada, Sulani and more. More and more people were also immigrating to SimDonia which helped create new styles. Pants were finally introduced and as SimDonians transitioned from skirts, wide-leg pants became popular as a result. Color, designs, and materials were also experimented with along with less modest clothing.

Wealthy Class - Seen as traditionalists, wealthier people often stuck to modest wear. Most didn't hop on the pants train either. But, more interesting designs and trends emerged from the experimental stage including fascinators which are worn heavily amongst the wealthy today.

Wedding Wear - Wedding design also saw some experimenting. Viels got longers, dresses saw more embellishments, and accessorizing was a must. Flowers went from being popular in hair to being popular in bouquets.

Today, SimDonia Style is trendy yet true to its origins. People are encouraged to dress in a manner that suits them and creativy and expression through dress is common. Not only has SimDonia caught up with the rest of the world, but has become a trendsetter on a national stage prompting a near fashion capital status.

Working Class - Without rules or regulations, we see more and more creative trends blossom. High fashion is more accessible than ever and expression is at an all-time high. Many attribute not only SimDonia's liberation, but experimenting, appreciating other cultures, and a sense of pride and freedom to today's fashion.

Wealthy Class - While wealthy class fashion could still be considered restricted, it's 100% socially and not required by government. Modesty still plays a role, but there is less concern to differentiate oneself with working class.

Wedding Wear - Today's popular wedding trends still remind us of SimDonia's past and history. While looks are more simple, brides have the freedom to get creative and personal on their big day.

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

I mean I get that’s it’s not the only contributing factor, but I’m curious exactly how much of the shelter dog over-population problem is actually due to poor dog ownership/management vs the housing crisis and economical stress. I’d be willing to bet by investing in social programs that give people the resources they need to care for their pets (cough cough affordable and free housing cough cough) that the amount of pets in shelters would dramatically drop. We can all sit here pointing fingers and screaming at each other until we are blue in the face, but if the owners basic needs are not being met, how can we hold them to a basic standard for their pets?

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

COMMENT ON OLD FICS, I BEG YOU!

I swear to god after like a week people will still be reading but nobody leaves comments anymore and I just want to make it absolutely clear that I would be excited and elated to get a comment on these fics one hundred years after I post them.

A FIC IS NEVER TOO OLD TO LEAVE A NICE COMMENT ON. GO FORTH AND COMMENT!

I like the implications of Bill apparently not drawing any yellow triangles in his therapy pictures. Whether it means anything or not, when kids draw family pictures, they want to draw themselves too, they are the part of the family, right? But he draws just Red and Blue. As if a happy picture of them is one where he never existed. I am overthinking it it course.

AUGH ANON YOU GOT ME THINKING.

What if like. Okay so we know he and his family were from a 2 Dimensional world, Euclydia. He only draws red and blue triangles, who are likely his parents. Yellow triangles are nowhere to be seen. Maybe it’s supposed to be a happy picture without him

But. But he’s the yellow triangle. He’s still from Euclydia. In most respects, he’s still 2D

So maybe. Maybe instead he’s trying to recreate the environment. Maybe he’s putting himself back with them in the only way he can.

He only draws red and blue triangles… because the yellow triangle is already there

If only Machete wasn't so distinctly white and waifish. Otherwise one could possibly use a lookalike to fake his death and just run away with vasco. But finding someone that resembles machete would be almost as hard as making the choice to end a life to save your own.

Today I would like to shout out that one random Twitter person who made up that JD Vance bragged about fucking a couch.

Imagine making a random shitpost and less than two months later your joke is being used by a major party nominee for Vice President on live television at his introduction rally, earning him thunderous applause.

That poster must be having quite the experience.
