Journal - "The Sims 3!"

[leskuh]

I'm excited for it. Even though I'm not getting it. And it probably won't run on my mac anyway.

I'll probably end up playing it on my sister's comp at some point though. I'm hoping to steer her away from playing the Goths/Bella's family, because OH MAN MY OTP OH MAN.

It looks cute! And fun! And different, but in ways that aren't that terrible! Also, I don't give a shit about the rivalry between TS2 and TS3, because it's just stupid. They're games. Games that you play for fun.

I hope they fix that story progression thing though, because if I do ever get it, I'd like to be able to toggle that shit off. I don't mind if Sims are walking around and making friends, but I don't like that they can marry and cheat and have babies and I HAVE NO CONTROL.

Um, Mortimer is still the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER. And I've been sort of quietly building up this deep love of Bella and her story and how she is so NORMAL, but then she disappears in TS2 and becomes something ethereal. And I've been having all sorts of thinky thoughts about her and Mortimer and if they were truly in love and what happened really?

For me, Bella did love him. But it's also this weird sort of relationship that she's been in since childhood and basically at some point she wakes up and thinks: 'where did my life go?' because she's never been Just Bella. She grew up with Mortimer and one day he kissed her and then they were together and he was brilliant and she was average and he loved her despite that. And he proposed and they were married and she had Cassandra when she was young, I'm sure of it. And so now she's a mother and she'd never really pictured herself as one, but she's okay with that, except not at all and Mortimer is still brilliant and the town needs him and no one needs Bella. She's just there to be pretty, like scenery and she can't remember what she wanted to be when she was little, but it's too late anyway, because now she's a mother even though she isn't sure that's what she ever wanted to be.

Basically, I think Bella got swept along in Mortimer's life and never took time to step back and say: "What about me? Do I even love him? Or do am I with him, because I always have been? And is this the life that I really want to be living?".

And uhhh, basically I want someone to write me a reunion fic with Mortimer going out to find her one last time and somehow becoming younger again (like Bella in Strangetown) and she falls in love with him even though she doesn't remember him, so we know that she loves him for him and not just because. And uhhh, I don't know. I just love them and poking at their story.

Haha, somehow my Sims 3 post turned into OMG BELLA/MORTIMER FOREVER!

IN CONCLUSION:

1) If anyone wants to hit me up with Bella/Mortimer references from either TS2 or TS3, I would not object. I like it best when they don't have Maxis-y skins, because overlays or whatever y'know... alter their appearances.

2) I would also love to one day find a story about Kaylynn and Mortimer discussing Bella's disappearance and their childhood together and love and growing up and any variations on that.

3) Creating a Sims_anon kink meme community is a terrible idea, right? RIGHT?


ETA: MORTIMER ICON! The keywords/comments are lyrics to Billy Joel's 'Angry Young Man', which is actually a song that I also relate to Arnold. But anyway, I love Morty and Billy Joel and my new icon!

I feel bad for them, but it's a good kind of sadness. It's heartbreaking, but I still can't help loving it.

Oooooo! I like that! I can definitely see the correlations between Bella and Amelia Earhart. Although I don't think they get the same kind of idolization. Bella becomes this hyper sexualized, ethereal 'perfect woman' figure and I don't think Earhart is generally seen in that sort of light.

YAAAAY!

Oh you don't have to age them up at all. I would just love pics of them being childhood BFFs and being adorable together.

Yeah, I only chose Amelia because of the whole disappearance thing. Amelia is the one we will always wonder about. :(

I HAVE DECIDED TO NAME THEIR FIRST DAUGHTER AMELIA, in honor of Amelia Earhart.

I'll get you some, my soul. <3

(And plus, after putzing around in CAS I will play the Goths- with every Sims game, I ALWAYS play the Goths first!)

B-but what about Cass? God, the one thing that sucks about the whole prequel idea is that I'll feel bad if I don't make everything end up the same way.

I can't wait for the picspam. *dances*

Hee, I usually do that too. But I don't stay too long, because I prefer to explore things with sims I create first so that I don't mess up the 'canon'.

I KNOW. I will feel bad, but I plan on them having a bunch of daughters who will ALL be fierce.

:D

I KNOW! I tend to worry too much about the premades.
