Having a mid life crisis and somehow fell down the sims4 let's play rabbit hole 😭😭😭😭 but ts entertaining as hell tho

[romanceclub-confessionss]

Confession:

"if sasha wasnt a homophobic coward she is she would let us matchmake noah/lester and(if you dont romance them) yan/dmitry and anna/kira(or anna/anhea bc sasha killed kira for whatever reason)"

[justatallsadchild]

I'm sorry but while I wholeheartedly agree that hsr author is homophobic because wtf has Anna's route turned into I think we're also going to have to acknowledge just how homophobic the ru stans can be I'm saying this because a couple of weeks on the other app seven hearts stories you get to pair up two other male li if you're not romancing them and the amount of homophobia and biphobia from the stans were disgusting and I'm 100% there's a huge overlap between shs players and rc players so the same reaction would occur on rc...😬😬

Can I just scream into the void for a second? Because everything is so goddamn annoying right now. Every single app is just drowning in ads and bullshit memberships. You can't even open something for three seconds without getting slapped with a pop-up: “Pay $10.99 a month to skip ads and unlock premium features!” Like—what even is the free version at this point? It’s basically digital purgatory. Might as well throw a paywall on the whole thing and be honest about it.

This past week, I downloaded a bunch of apps to try and get my life in order—organizers, trackers, planners, you name it—thinking, “Cool, time to finally get my shit together.” But nope. Can’t do anything without a subscription. Not even the fucking clock app is safe. YouTube? Sub. Spotify? Sub. A damn to-do list? Subscription. Like, what the actual fuck is going on? When did basic functionality become a luxury?

And here’s a theory—a game theory, if you will. What if this is all the high priestess doing? the naked lady I’m like 70% sure she’s the high priestess’ dead sister, now using vereya to communicate with Lada. That connects back to Milon’s so-called confession. We all know that’s probably false. But before he confessed, he told Lada he’d do anything for the one he loves most. If that person is Sianna—the high priestess’ granddaughter—then maybe the high priestess used that love to manipulate him into confessing, hoping Lada would drop the case. But that didn’t work either.

I'm like 80% sure that's the high priestess is going to die in the next update or at least beginning of season 3 and just before she dies we're going to find out what really happened to vereya and whether or not she has something to do with it..

Honestly, I’m starting to believe that the High Priestess has been behind everything from the very beginning. If my theory is correct and she had something to do with Veraya’s death, then it’s possible she’s been quietly manipulating events all along—even influencing Volot, her own grandson and elder. After all, she’s someone everyone listens to and trusts.

I have a strong feeling that everything has been building up to something she’s been planning, and that plan is finally going to unfold in the Season Finale. Interestingly, this reminds me a lot of the Season 2 finale of Heaven’s Secret, which was also written by Alice. Maybe the High Priestess is playing a similar role to fenecio—perhaps trying to revive something ancient… possibly even the gods themselves.

So here I am—curled up in bed, a half-finished bag of chips beside me, soda fizzing softly on my nightstand, and that familiar warmth in my chest as I scroll through one of my favorite fanfictions. The one I read years ago—God, how long has it been? Five years? Half a decade? And somehow, here I am again, back in this same universe, rereading it just because… I wanted to feel something. To remember.

And it hit me—I've been in love with this ship for years. Through so much change, so many seasons of life, they’ve stayed. My girls. My Sheilas. My ride-or-dies. These characters, this world—they're carved into my heart like initials on an old tree.

There’s something so comforting about fandom. About knowing you can always come back. That no matter how long it's been, the fanfics are still there, waiting patiently like an old friend with a knowing smile. You dive back in and suddenly, you're not just reading—you’re remembering. You're seventeen again, or twenty-one, or whatever age you were when it first hit you that these characters meant everything.

It's magic, really. How fictional people can feel more real than half the folks you’ve met in life. How a story someone wrote in a fit of passion at 3am can still undo you, years later. How this love—this quiet, stubborn love—never fades. Just softens, deepens, becomes a part of you.

And I think that’s what makes fandom so special. It's not just about obsession or escapism—it’s about finding a home in a world that doesn’t exist, and somehow, feeling more you than ever inside it.

Something I’ve been noticing more and more—especially after seeing a recent Twitter thread—is the increasing erasure of Black women in media, particularly in YA shows. And I know, I know… it’s Twitter, there’s always some discourse going on. But this one hit close to home.

Someone pointed out how a new YA series (I believe it's an Amazon Prime show dropping soon) had a poster featuring three white girls, two white boys, and one ambiguously Black boy. No Black girl in sight. Naturally, people were asking the obvious: Where are the Black girls? The response? Crickets. Or worse.

One person commented something like, “If there is a Black girl, she’ll probably be a disposable love interest,” and Amazon hid her comment. Which honestly proves her point.

What really disappointed me, though, was the pushback—not from white folks, but from other Black people. People trying to “prove” the original poster wrong by dropping screenshots of six shows with Black female leads. Except… four of those shows are cancelled, one ended years ago, and the last one is stuck in development hell. That’s not representation, that’s a graveyard.

When someone called them out on it, they replied with the tired line: “Well, y’all don’t show up for these shows, that’s why they get cancelled.” But that’s just not true. We do show up. We watch, we hype them, we create fan art, we tweet, we organize streaming parties—we do everything we’re supposed to do. But when streaming platforms don’t promote these shows or bury them under a thousand other things, what are we supposed to do? Sometimes, even when they do get a good amount of attention, they still get axed.

And it’s really disheartening to see so many Black people dismiss Black women who raise valid concerns. But honestly, it’s not surprising. A lot of us have been conditioned to accept the status quo. We’ve been taught not to expect more than a couple of shows here and there. And if we get even one half-decent romcom with a Black woman lead, we’re expected to shut up and be grateful—even if it’s the only one for years.

This mindset is damaging. We’re not asking for too much—we’re asking for the bare minimum. Consistent, intentional representation that doesn’t relegate Black girls to side characters, stereotypes, or afterthoughts.

We deserve better. And no, we’re not gonna stay quiet about it.

[justatallsadchild]

Sorry not sorry but I can easily gouge if a book is gonna be good or not if it starts with a page like this (and most of the time it's not good!)

I just finished replaying Heaven’s Secret for the first time in years, and honestly, it was such a nostalgic experience. From the screaming Vicky sprites to remembering just how much of a jerk Lucifer was—and let’s not forget Malbonte—it definitely brought back memories.

Story-wise, it kind of holds up, but when you compare it to HSR, ABH, or even HS2, it’s clear that Heaven’s Secret had the weakest plot. Things didn’t really start to get interesting until Season 3, which explains why a sequel was necessary—there were way too many unanswered questions left hanging.

Vicky as a character didn’t have much going for her, to be honest. Compared to someone like Lane or even Audrey, who had their own complexities, Vicky just didn’t stand out. And Lucifer? God, he was so annoying at first. He did get slightly better, though. I chose his path this time around because, if I remember right, the first time I played I was on his route before switching to Mal, so it was cool seeing things play out differently. Was also on the angels path as well instead of balance (which unfortunately means that I didn't get the harmony achievement 😔)

Mimi and Dino were sadly sidelined by mid-Season 2, and Andy has always felt like background noise. And Loy—seriously, what was the point of adding him as a love interest? Like, why?

The worst part is, all these issues just get worse in Heaven’s Secret 2, which is frustrating. Still, I’d rate the original story a 7.5 out of 10. It wasn’t the strongest start, but it’s where everything began, so I’ve got to give it some credit.

[justatallsadchild]

So yeah, Love Fever was honestly a total letdown. Day 1 was a complete waste — the server kept crashing, nothing would load properly, and the whole thing was riddled with bugs. Day 2 was slightly better, but not by much. And Day 3? Still slow, still buggy. Up until the very last moment, I couldn't even enjoy the stories the way I was supposed to.

You’d think that after the first Love Fever, the devs would’ve learned and actually prepped their servers for the next one. But nope — back in the trenches we go. I just really hope that if they’re planning to make this a recurring event, whether monthly or every two months, they actually take the time to get it right. Because this experience? Yeah… it kind of sucked.

I’ve never watched Industry before, but I’ve been thinking about starting it. Recently, though, I randomly came across a post about Harper, the one Black female character, and the unnecessary hate she gets—often laced with thinly veiled racism. And honestly, I just had to roll my eyes because, of course, this is happening.

I was literally just talking to someone about the Vampire Diaries and the way Bonnie Bennett was treated. As the only Black female character, she was consistently sidelined and undervalued. And unsurprisingly, this pattern exists across other shows and fandoms. It’s the same exhausting cycle: as a Black woman, you’re never allowed to simply exist alongside your white peers on equal footing.

When a white male character kills someone or ruins a life, it’s brushed off—if he’s attractive enough, people will even romanticize it. If a white female character does the same, she might get criticized, but ultimately, people move on. But if a Black woman does something immoral—regardless of how much worse her counterparts have been—she will never be allowed to live it down. It becomes a permanent stain on her character, something the fandom will weaponize against her forever.

Take Bonnie Bennett, for example. People hate her for being too self-righteous, too self-sacrificing—as if that’s somehow worse than Damon abusing Caroline, or Stefan, Elena, and Caroline all going on murder sprees. No one holds those actions against them the way they do with Bonnie. Somehow, her being "too good" is more offensive than everyone else being outright terrible.
