Feel free to send these asks for Fallon, OR if the creators want to send me ANSWERS to these asks about their characters, go ahead!
6. how long have you been working on your story for?
December 18th was the 1-year anniversary of making Fallon. I posted the casting call on December 21st, 2021. (tomorrow!!) I posted the first story post on January 23rd, 2022. So, about a year!
11. why have you decided to tell this story? are there any messages or meanings within it?
I originally decided to tell it because 2 people gave me ideas that sent my brain spiraling, but as for messages and meanings, well, there's a few, and most of them are for me. But the big ones are that everyone deserves to be loved, no one should have to do everything alone, and above all else, in order to truly love someone else and be loved you have to learn a little bit of love for yourself. <3
(i am sorry to hear about your mom, stay safe!!!! hopefully it’s just a mild case and she can get lots of rest)
Mirandaaaaa!!! Thanks for the ask!!! Idk where to even start!
I'm going to tell you a story about my story. So, a really long time ago, over a year ago, I had a story idea that I thought I liked. I still love the title, but the story and characters were nothing special. I wasn't attached to them. Chances are it was doomed from the start, so maybe what happened next was a blessing in disguise. (No maybe, actually. It was.)
In August of 2021, I lost all my saves, tray files, mods, everything. I was very, very mad about it. I slowly rebuilt my mods folder, and I tried to remake the sims from the story idea I had before. But my heart wasn't in it.
On December 18th, I made a sim. She was very pretty. Inspired in part by you, Miranda, I dressed her up in some fancy gowns, and gave her a crown. I named her and saved her to my gallery. That was the first version of Fallon.
I wanted to do something with her, but I didn't know what. I ended up coming up with the idea for a bachelorette challenge, because hey, I'd done a bachelor challenge on my old blog, I know how these work. But my brain was still in story mode.
I came up with Fallon's backstory, and things started getting more complicated. It was clear from very early that RTQ was going to be mostly story.
Two people made sure that it would be 100% story, though. I can't tell you who they are, or even tell them who they are, because that would be spoilers. But two people gave my brain the fuel I needed to make this a 100% story, and make it into something I'm very, very motivated to finish.
This story means a lot to me, and I really, really hope that I can finish it sooner rather than later. It's nearly been a year, and I'm not even 2 chapters in, out of 30+ chapters I have planned, but I have to finish this story. It will eat me alive if I don't.
on a more personal note, some things under the cut about themes
So, this story (like every story I write) is about love. Not just romantic love, but love in lots of forms. More specifically, one of the central themes around the story is learning self love in order to love others. It's something that Fallon most certainly needs to learn, and it will come back around multiple times in the story.
But the real reason this story is about love, and about happiness, and why there is no way I could ever give it an unhappy ending, is because this story is first and foremost for me. People say "write the story you want to read, or need to hear", and that's what I did. Before I even realized what I was doing.
My whole life all I've ever wanted was to be loved, in any sense of the word. And also, I grew up without a lot of good examples of love in my life. I found out right after Thanksgiving that my parents are getting a divorce. So, basically, this story boils down to me proving to myself that real love does exist, that love is a choice, and that if people work on it, even flawed people can have a strong, healthy relationship.
I've become a lot more self-aware over the time I've been writing this story (and other things I've written since this story started), and honestly I think it's made my life healthier. And I will forever be grateful to Fallon and this story for that.
All of you people loving Nina!!! I love it!! (We stan a Hot Sword Woman.)
Nina is a little shy in big groups, and having only recently been named Heir to the Empire of Aurania, she still feels a little awkward at formal events. When she does attend a ball or formal dinner, etc., she'd rather watch everyone else than be dragged into a ton of conversations with strangers.
