(I handpicked form sort of the top row to make things somewhat sensible)

go to pinterest and search "fictional character", "date", "gift", "outfit", "dessert" and "love quote"

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! Thank you!! :)

Putting a readmore because this gets real personal and overshare-y, lol.

I've heard that before, about it being about depression. That's interesting to me. I'm not sure if I was depressed but I definitely was traumatized, and going through that in my 20s and early 30s. Actually I think the time when I was writing Surreal Darkness was around when I really started to heal. The bits posting right now are based in my experience of nearly bleeding to death from a hemorrhaging ulcer in 2011, and I think recovering from that was the beginning of healing, writing SD and Emo Pistols was the next part, getting meds was next, and then just...getting older and wiser.

I'm on escitalopram now and it's really really helped an amazing lot too. So yeah, between meds, my writing, and getting older I'm doing pretty good these days.

Thanks for tagging me, @necile!💗

Hi, thanks for the ask (and the well wishes!)! This is a fun question!!

So, I actually got into the franchise when I was about 13 (so in 2017), through my best friend at the time. She had the game on her laptop and we would play when I went over to her house. We made sims of each other and had them live together. After my parents found out about how much we played, I ended up getting the base game and Cats & Dogs for Christmas that year.

(Side note: The first sim I ever played on my own had twins (both girls), and I thought the game glitched and didn't save the name, so I named them both the same thing. This was pretty confusing, at least up until they became teens and one of them died in a grill fire. A lot of my early sims died in grill fires, actually. One dude was living on his own and refused to put himself out, so that was the first (and maybe only??) time I ever got the "game over" screen.)

It didn't take too long for me to fall into the world of cc and mods, and I ended up joining tumblr and simblr in the fall of 2018. (Wild to think I've been here for over 6 years.) By that point I had more or less completely fallen out with the friend who introduced me to the game, but my love for the Sims remained.

In 2019 I bought a gaming laptop (an Acer Nitro 5, which is still my current computer) for sims reasons, and also in anticipation of Planet Zoo, which was coming out that fall. Making my own posts on simblr started not long after that, but I didn't start using this blog until 2021.

I haven't actually done gameplay in years, but I'm pretty attached to the game still, if only as a way to visualize my OCs and create edits.
