You know why I appreciate Sex Education so much besides the obvious reasons? They never treated Viv like a lesser character or women even though she isn't "standard beauty".

And it's so sad that I even say or think this, but when I saw her for the first time I was sure we were in for a whole lot of "she is so fat" jokes. And there were none. That alone would have made me happy but then they even gave her an interesting storyline, and made her a really cool character, who told the mothers of her friend he was self harming to protect him. And it may have been the right thing to do, but it was probably so hard and she knew she could loose a friend and she still did it to help Jackson. God, I just loved it.

I was a thick child, still not thin, and I wish I'd seen her story when I was young and struggling, because I felt too fat to be normal all the time. There were no fat or even thick characters who weren't just there to be the butt of the joke. And if we're being honest nothing really changed.

So yeah, I love Sex Education for not fucking this up and giving a black, not-thin woman a great story without it being about her "otherness".

a rant by cas thats kinda ass :0

i think about killing you more than i should. i wonder if it would ease the pain and make it go away or maybe even bring back what im missing because what you took used to make me whole. 

but anything and everything could happen to you and it would never be enough. nothing will ever fill the void that you have created within me. i want you to suffer to be stripped away of everything that makes you, you.

i want everyone to see the monster for who you are and how you have left me with so many scars. i want you to feel exposed and unsafe just like how you made me feel in my own home, my own fucking room.

i want you to yell and cry, i want you to beg me to stop hurting you, i want you to feel everything that you have put me through. 

i dont mean to sound so fucking bitter and dark but you and the others took all the best parts of me so i think its right to return the fucking favor

i mean what else can i do when you’ve torn me to pieces and feasted on my remains. you’ve conquered every part of my body and i want you to feel the fucking same.

OK, Lets Discuss a topic that has been something that has been on my mind in recent days. Recently @grimcookies made an intriguing and informative video on the darker skin-tones and how they need to be fixed and how makeup doesn’t look as good on darker skin tones in the game. I suggest watching that video for a bit more insight.

The sad truth is, The Sims darker skin-tones aren’t made very well. They look very ashy and have no vibrancy. When the sims game initially came out in 2014, The game had little to no range for darker-skinned people, and the shades that they did have were very bad. In February of 2018, The Sims added a few more darker shades which brought the total to 10 medium to dark shades.

Those additional shades that they added, on the four darkest shades, a small patch of discoloration surrounds the nose. The existing makeup in the game also doesn’t look quite right on those new tones. For instance, adding lipstick creates an out of place line around the edges of a Sims’ lips.

Representation matters! We deserve to accurately show and represent ourselves. This game has shown growth in many areas but we still have a long way to go. It has been 6 years since the release of this game and we are still waiting for more representation. We shouldn’t have to rely on CC to get the representation that we deserve. For a game that prides itself on inclusivity I think that there should be a color-wheel for the sims skin-tones. There already is a color wheel for PETS in the game and I think that Sims should have the ability to do so as well. I want to start a petition to get more skins-tones that accurately represent us and our diversity. If you want to sign you can click HERE

But until then, here are some links that could be helpful If you are looking for accurate representation for your sims:

@xmiramira

 Melanin Pack, Melanin Pack 2, Baby Melanin Pack

@peacemaker-ic

The Other Side Skin-Tones

@pyxiidis

Stuck on You Skin-Tones

@siminspring

B-Natural Medium Dark, Phenomenal Warm, Phenomenal Cool

@disorganaized

Cloud Skin Tones, Cumulus Skin Tones

I hope those links help people. It is hard enough that as black people we don’t get accurately represented in the media. But this game is a LIFE simulation and I think we should be able to represent our life in an accurate way. If you want to sign the petition for a color-wheel/ more skin-tones please click HERE! We can be the change we want to see!
