hi!
so, this blog - and my simblr, for that matter - have been... pretty dead until now, suddenly. i got a lot less interested in sims, and kind of Over(TM) the sims/simblr community, for a while. also really, really into cookie run. not only that, but my life changed dramatically when i got to college. i went from a shut-in who basically only had friends online to somebody who actually, y'know, willingly leaves their room and talks to people. (i'm a frat bro now. 16y/o me would never have conceived of being a frat bro.)
basically, a combination of loss of interest and a change in the way i live my life resulted in me dedicating a lot less time to my sims content.
right now, though? as you know, there is a global pandemic. and somehow, living exactly how i used to spend my life as a teenager got me heavily invested in my sims content again.
truth is, i never intended to ditch the sims as a medium - i started a project (i.e. my overarching apocalypse storyline) i really, really wanted to finish, regardless of my feelings about the sims community or my changing hyperfixations. despite my waning desire to work on my sims content All The Time, To The Detriment Of My Other Responsibilities And My Basic Needs, i cared way too much about the story i'd been planning for years to forget about it. i always planned to keep picking away at it.
and now i have time to! i'll be backing up more content here and posting more content on my simblr now. uh... woo! except it's actually not so woo. people are dying.
i still don't think i'm ever going to replicate that speed i worked at as a teenager - nor do i want to. like, that wasn't... healthy. as i said, i'd sit at my computer and ignore Everything Else to work on simblr stuff. i'd realize it's 9 PM and i'm starving because i didn't come to dinner. That Is A Problem. i'm already falling back into that trap though so lmao
