Hi!

Hi!

Just letting you all know that I'm not gone, nor have I abandoned my blog! I just happen to be super busy with work and vet school (mostly work tbh) and haven't had much free time to be around :/ I plan to go back to posting this weekend or maybe tomorrow in all fairness. I've been seeing your tags and asks so I'll take care of those as well as soon as I can! Ily all 🥰

💌This is the Amazing Person Award! Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of eight different people, who, in your opinion, deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it is sweet to know someone thinks you’re amazing inside and out! 💌

THIS IS SO SWEET OF YOU!

I've been heckin' inactive lately, I'm surprised you still remember me AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yeah, there's no way I'm going to break the chain. I've got way too many amazing mutuals.

On my Charm family makeover

I know not many people follow me, but I'd still like to address something that's been gnawing at my chest.

Last night, I posted a makeover of the Charm household, which I was initially very proud of. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone when it comes to creating and remaking sims and I felt like this one in particular was ok after the Vatores.

However, when I logged in this morning, I had a comment from a user asking why they were so white. I also saw other users agreeing with this statement and commenting on how they were unrecognizable. This saddened me, obviously. Mostly because I didn't touch their skin color (the gshade preset I use and tweaked has a blue tint to it and I realize now that the bloom shader may have brightened things up a little), but also because I try to keep changes to premades' facial structures as subtle as I can make them so they can still be recognizable. With the exception of Gemma (who I almost completely remade to try to make her look more like the teen she is), the most I did was adjust jawlines, lips and eyes, because lord knows I can't do much more than that without completely messing up. My makeovers mostly consist of a bunch of skin details and makeup put together on a sim and that's what makes most of the difference. Though no one is obligated to like my stuff and that's totally fine! Each person has a different style they're into. What really hurt was the fact that people think I white-washed these sims when it definitely wasn't my intention to make it appear so.

Regardless, I am deeply sorry if my take on the Charms offended any of you in any way. I meant no harm and had no intention of making them look paler than they originally are. However, I'll be taking your feedback into account and do better next time. Please, if anyone has any POC-friendly preset suggestions, link them to me so I can try them out in makeovers like this one.

To clear things up on these sims looking paler than their default versions, under the cut is a picture of them with no gshade preset, and another one with the gshade preset I used:

May I ask 💦 and 🧠 for Morgyn and 💋 for Caleb, please?

I absolutely adore your writing and vision of them. Especially Morgyn, they're just 🔥🔥🔥

Much love 💖💖💖

YOU! *points at your gorgeous self* Ily. Thank you so much, I legit melt every time I get this sort of compliments 😭

💦: Is your OC’s attractiveness based on looks or a more intangible aura?

Both. Morgyn is naturally attractive, but they go above and beyond to look their absolute best every single day. However, the way they present themselves is probably what makes people find them so attractive. While Morgyn doesn't particularly go out of their way to tell the world they're a witch, those around them just know there's something supernatural about them. One look and they can tell Morgyn is powerful being with a dominant persona. And that, my friend, is attractive to a bunch of people.

🧠: What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

Their confidence, 100%. Morgyn is doused in it. Every step, every word, every smile exudes it and none of that goes unnoticed by the people around them. They're also incredibly smart and their knowledge of the world is way too vast for someone as young as they are.

💋: Is your OC a good kisser? How do they do it?

Caleb? Absolutely. Being a little over a century old has definitely had a hand in it though, as that gave him plenty of time to practice and experiment through the years.

He knows how to be gentle or assertive, depending on his partner and his hands like to roam, be it to soothe or to tease. Being a vampire has made him prone to biting as well and he very often resorts to that when things start to get frisky. However, he refuses to use his teeth anywhere below the jawline since he doesn't trust himself enough to guarantee he won't go into a feeding frenzy (starving yourself on blood-free alternatives does that to you 😔).

And don't you know That we are Gods And holy blood Runs through our veins
