    I'm making snow white, the evil queen and the magic mirror as the start of a new legacy.. I still need to make the neighbors though. Like prince what's his name.

    I don't think he has a name in Snow White

    Depends Disney or the original Snow White prince?

    The official name for Disney Snow White's Prince is "Florian" some people thought it was Ferdinand because of something Shirley Temple said

    So how are you all? :)

    Good. About to take pics of Ron and Claire's baby in my AU save. My bet is she is going to be adorable. (Only doing it because I want to use the kiddie pool that came with seasons...)

    Yaassss the kiddie pool is awesome. Only used it with Alex though. Aw I'm sure she's going to be adorable.

    From what I remember, she is! :smiley:

    Happy Timezones all! :blush:

    Just here to drop off another Ironbound chapter.

    Chapter 145: 00:03:00:78
    No preview pics of the chapter, so instead have a picture of an "Alignment Chart" I did for some of my Ironbound Characters:
    ironboundalignmentchart.jpg

    I love this idea! I'm thinking of making one for my Undead with Benefits characters :lol:
  • ShadamiShadami Posts: 4,353 Member
    Oh that's be awesome! I don't think I have enough characters in my stories to fill out a chart yet.
  • ForgottenPixelsForgottenPixels Posts: 11,376 Member
    This is embarrassing but I genuinely get some people confused in here. :joy: I just remembered that happens..

    @pronterus Thanks! It was a fun process trying to work each one out, some went from one alignment to another after some consideration - Sage could've easily been in 3 squares instead of the two that she's in :)

    @Shadami You could leave some squares blank and just type "To be added later?"

    @LyricSimsz15 Yeah, that link that Pronterus shared is what I used.

    I have an idea for a non-SimLit short story about an AU version of me being bullied and my water bottles "disappearing"/ broken. In this story the AU version of Me is going to tell the bullies they have a couple of choices in regards to my disappearing/broken water bottles. The 2 choices I'm trying to decide on are: Either they have to buy me pop from the vending machine up near the gymnasium , or the other idea is take me to McDonald's (like after school) and buy me both a McFlurry and a Pop/soda.

    Which sounds like a better idea Vending machine or McDonald's?

    @MadameLee I'm sorry you were bullied. :(
    I think buying you pop from the vending machine sounds good, but that's because I don't like McDonalds. XD

    I used to go to McDonald's a lot when I was 12/13 and younger. I only recently learned when I was really, really young that we stopped at a McDonald's Drive through in (town near Maternal grandparents town) on our way to town (Paternal grandparents town). I always thought we got the food from (McDonald's in our town). Mom and I didn't stop going to McDonald's until after I was 15.


    But they would have to buy it for me from 12(I can't remember what time classes started up again after lunch in elementary school)-3:30pm.

    So I guess mcdonalds is the better option? :)

    Well, this is an interesting scenario! In my experience, bullies aren't really motivated to make-up for what they've done. I guess I usually experienced bullies just laughing in my place when I suggested things they might try instead. :/

    I was talking with our Bullying Prevention Specialist at the school district I work in today, and he was saying that most bullies suffer from trauma. What they really need is to experience caring relationships with adults, with educators, for example. More than anything, that helps to rewire the damage caused by the trauma--but it has to be genuine, caring interactions.

    In your story, is there an educator or other adult who could step in?

    Oh. I thought @MadameLee 's was based on a true story. I think she is writing about what should have happened, if you get what I mean?

    It's never been this way in my experience either, but sometimes it's nice to write about what should have happened.

    anyway for some reason i wasn't afraid and i told her go ahead. she never hit me either time. bullies also hate when you call their bluff.

    you missed the point. i never bribed the girl not even once. i just called her on it. and she got bored after the second fail i guess since i wasn't afraid she got bored with me i think because after the second time she didn't bother with me.

    I have an idea for a non-SimLit short story about an AU version of me being bullied and my water bottles "disappearing"/ broken. In this story the AU version of Me is going to tell the bullies they have a couple of choices in regards to my disappearing/broken water bottles. The 2 choices I'm trying to decide on are: Either they have to buy me pop from the vending machine up near the gymnasium , or the other idea is take me to McDonald's (like after school) and buy me both a McFlurry and a Pop/soda.

    Which sounds like a better idea Vending machine or McDonald's?

    @MadameLee I'm sorry you were bullied. :(
    I think buying you pop from the vending machine sounds good, but that's because I don't like McDonalds. XD

    I used to go to McDonald's a lot when I was 12/13 and younger. I only recently learned when I was really, really young that we stopped at a McDonald's Drive through in (town near Maternal grandparents town) on our way to town (Paternal grandparents town). I always thought we got the food from (McDonald's in our town). Mom and I didn't stop going to McDonald's until after I was 15.


    But they would have to buy it for me from 12(I can't remember what time classes started up again after lunch in elementary school)-3:30pm.

    So I guess mcdonalds is the better option? :)

    Well, this is an interesting scenario! In my experience, bullies aren't really motivated to make-up for what they've done. I guess I usually experienced bullies just laughing in my place when I suggested things they might try instead. :/

    I was talking with our Bullying Prevention Specialist at the school district I work in today, and he was saying that most bullies suffer from trauma. What they really need is to experience caring relationships with adults, with educators, for example. More than anything, that helps to rewire the damage caused by the trauma--but it has to be genuine, caring interactions.

    In your story, is there an educator or other adult who could step in?

    i remember when i was in4th grade. i was at a school where upper and lower grades had differnt playgrounds. no swings was the only difference. but this big as in tall girl probably 6th grade threatened to beat me up. not once but twice. iam forever short i have the gram gene. lol

    anyway for some reason i wasn't afraid and i told her go ahead. she never hit me either time. bullies also hate when you call their bluff.

    Ha! What if MadameLee brought extra water bottles for the bullies?

    meh... I don't think that would work... that's sort of like buying into extortion...

    you missed the point. i never bribed the girl not even once. i just called her on it. and she got bored after the second fail i guess since i wasn't afraid she got bored with me i think because after the second time she didn't bother with me.

    No, I got the point, for sure. I just didn't respond to your point--I went off on a tangent, thinking about MadameLee's story... But, before I went off on the tangent, here's what I was thinking about your anecdote: I can totally see that approach working when done by you! You showed yourself to be brave, and she didn't have the effect that she wanted. She probably admired you, too! I know I do! :)

    sis if i didn't know better i would think noel and lauren grew up in the 60s. they seem to have this love eveyone thing going on now.

    which is both fun and weird. because they were love the one your with people.

    I know! I just read your latest post and was really, really surprised! I wondered if you had one of those mods!

    Another legacy I've been following for ages (and also love dearly) has had a mod introduced to it, and wow! What her Sims do! Most of the time, while playing, she's just watching and calling it a train wreck! And when I read, I'm reading with my jaw open and just smiling and shaking my head!

    So how are you all? :)

    Stressed. Projects. Group projects where I did most of the stuff.

    Urgh. That's really annoying.

    That's the worst!! I'm good, about to post Chapet 6!! I had the most amazing time writing it after a really long time of finding it hard to write which made me happy :)

    Oh that's great news @Rockannie . Looking forward to reading chapter 6. :)
