#hello 2026

Jeonghan

You’re sitting on the floor, backs against the bed, lights off. Fireworks reflect in the glass. Jeonghan rests his head on your shoulder, unusually quiet.

“Let’s not rush this year,” he says softly. “Let’s be gentle with ourselves.”

At midnight, he presses a slow kiss to your temple — unspoken promise intact.

Joshua

Cold air, warm mugs, fairy lights swaying. Joshua wraps his scarf around both of you, laughing quietly.

“I prayed for peace this year,” he admits. “And for you to stay happy.”

When the year changes, he squeezes your hands and whispers, “Thank you for being my calm.”

Jun

The street glows with lanterns and soft chatter. Jun buys you something warm to drink, watching your reaction more than the fireworks.

“New Year means new memories,” he says shyly. “Let’s make beautiful ones.”

At midnight, he smiles like the wish already came true.

Hoshi

The studio smells like clean floors and memories. Hoshi sits beside you, back against the mirror, breath finally slowed.

“I dance so hard,” he says quietly. “But with you, I can rest.”

The clock hits twelve — and for once, he doesn’t move. He just leans into you.

Wonwoo

The café is empty, rain tapping the windows. Wonwoo slides a warm cup toward you, eyes soft behind his glasses.

“I like endings like this,” he says. “Quiet. Real.”

At midnight, he laces his fingers with yours — steady, certain.

Woozi

Music hums low in the background. Woozi watches the clock like it might interrupt the moment.

“This year taught me how to feel,” he admits. “You taught me.”

When the year changes, he pulls you into his chest — no lyrics needed.

Minghao

Paint-stained hands, soft instrumental music. Minghao hands you a small note folded carefully.

“Every year we grow,” he says. “Let’s grow beautifully.”

At midnight, he smiles peacefully — like everything is aligned.

Mingyu

Flour on his cheek, laughter filling the space. Mingyu sets a plate in front of you like it’s a gift.

“I want to take care of you better this year,” he says shyly.

Fireworks pop outside. He hugs you from behind, warm and sure.

DK

Snowflakes catch in his hair as he spins you around laughing. Then suddenly, he goes quiet.

“Even when I’m loud,” he says, “thank you for seeing me.”

At midnight, he hugs you tight — joy and emotion tangled together.

Seungkwan

Hot ramen, canned drinks, shared laughter. Seungkwan stares at the fireworks reflected in the glass door.

“I hope this year is kinder,” he says softly. “To all of us.”

At midnight, he bumps shoulders with you — comfort over ceremony.

Vernon

One earbud each, city humming below. Vernon watches the sky instead of the clock.

“Time’s weird,” he says. “But this feels right.”

When midnight hits, he smiles gently — present, grounded, real.

Dino

Photos from the year scattered everywhere. Dino points to one and laughs, then grows quiet.

“I grew up a lot,” he says. “Thanks for growing with me.”

At midnight, he hugs you tight — hopeful, bright, ready.

Different places. Different moments. But the same quiet truth in every one:

Edgewave 2025 was a huge creative jumping off point this year, inspiring me to finally bring to life the Hex Girls lookbook I've had on my to do list for quite some time. It was a tonne of fun reimagining the gals as their modern counterparts. You can check them out here.

Another Enchanted by Nature post landed in the top ten, this time for a collection of fun, whimsical accessories that were perfect for your fairy sims. You can check out that post here.

My Ultimate Decades Timeline series includes some of my more consistently popular content and the 1800s female lookbook was no exception. You guys seemed to really enjoy the simple elegance of the early 19th century and I don't blame you! You can check it out here.

It was a sad day when Acanthus Sims deactivated their Patreon this year as it meant all working links to their gorgeous Rococo era CC went dead, so I worked with my fellow historical simmers to gather all their gorgeous creations into one giant archive. And judging by the download numbers, you guys love their CC as much as I do! You can find that post here.

Starting in June, to coincide with the beginning of wedding season, I rolled out a series I've had on my to do list for several years - the Season of Brides. Over the course of three months I shared bridal lookbooks ranging from the 1890s all the way up to the 2000s. I had such a blast researching wedding fashions for each decade and putting the lookbooks together, so I'm really happy to see that they resonated with y'all. You can check out the master post here.

A newer lookbook, having only just been posted in November, but a popular one nonetheless. It really warms my soul when you guys are receptive to my sci-fi lookbooks as I'm a true nerd at heart and love all things futuristic. You can check it out here.
