author's note: I owe a lot to the many, many people who shared their screenshots with me to fill out these magazine covers! Please go follow @trentonsimblr, @simslafey, @the-lancasters, and @nexility-sims, @empiredesimparte, and @covingtons so you can get the full context for all the goings-on in the sim world!

I'm throwing a wild card baby name guess for the adorable new princess and saying that Eleanor is going to name her Lainey or Lane or something similar to nod to Archer since baby girl won't get his last name (maybe too obvious but I'm here for the messiness and slap to jerk wad Ryland lol oops) (I'm still rooting for this to be Archer's baby obviously)

I love the name Lainey/Lane 😭

9 hours until Bebe name announcement 🥳

continuing with my quest to figure out what is in the pockets of every royal simblr I would love to know 5, 17, and 27 for a character of your choosing please 💖

Megan!

I'm gonna do my favorite girl Ana💖

5. On an average day, what can be found in your character's pockets?

Her phone is typically the main thing she has in her pockets. A pair of wireless BT earbuds as a just-in-case measure if she gets overstimulated and maybe a couple pieces of candy too

17. What was your character's favorite toy as a child?

Okay so I had this when I was a kid so naturally Ana has to have had it to: Disney dolls (or Simblr's equivalent). I know that I had two Belles (One of whom's hair I undid for reasons I don't remember), 1 Jasmine in a purple outfit from the early 00s Disney Store, 1 Aurora and the Twinkling Lights Cinderella Doll from 2004. (I still have the Jasmine, Aurora and Cindy, but the Cindy doesn't work anymore)

27. How does your character normally deal with confrontation?

Because Richard was her father, she's had a LOT of experience dealing with confrontation and she's currently arguing like hell with a certain representative (and winning) so she's pretty good about confrontation because her previous experiences. She doesn't really resort to confrontation because of her position but if it's something that's really, really, REALLY important for the country or for Ana, then she can get very confrontational.

6 and 28 for the world building asks plz 💖

6. Who creates and enforces laws in your country? What is the punishment for breaking the law?

Armorica's legislation is done by its parliament, which consists of a "high house" made up of peers and a democratically elected "low house." These bodies are jointly responsible for writing and voting on new laws, which the monarch must sign before they take effect. IDK who enforces the law because I don't want to think about cops and prisons <3

28. When and how does your royal family announce births and the names of newborn children?

In the modern day, births and names are generally announced soon after they happen by the Armorican News Network, which is a publicly-funded news station, analogous to PBS or the BBC.

Ryland proving to be trash boy once again 🙄

Yup 😣

You came back just in time for Ryland to go back to his Trashland ways 🤣

5, 14, & 44 for Emily please!

Character Development Hard Mode -> Accepting

5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

Officially, Emily's job is being organized on Freddy's behalf, so she carries a day planner full of meticulous notes. She has a sentimental streak, so I think she would have some kind of memento from an early date with Freddy tucked inside -- a pressed flower, a ticket stub, something like that.

14. Does your character remember names or faces easier?

I think Emily has to be good with names, both as a function of her job and her status as a member of the nobility. She has to know the names of all the political players within Armorica, as well as the names of their spouses, kids, siblings, cousins, friends, rivals...

44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?

Sentimental as she is, Emily is also quite proud. Saying "I love you" is a really vulnerable and emotionally honest statement, and I don't think either of those things are easy for her. She doesn't want to lose face and she doesn't want to risk having her feelings hurt...she doesn't even call Freddy by that name -- most of the time, he's still 'Frederick' to her.

Thank you for the ask! I love Emily, I feel like I never get to talk about her!

Emily and Theo for the prompt thingy bc I love them both sm 🥰

I've been sitting on this prompt for SO long and I am pleased to report that I will NOT be sharing anything for this in the moment because i changed my outline to give them a scene together in chapter 3 😌

plz hold, they'll talk...sometime in late november or early december, based on current forecasts.

Emmett and Payton for the dialogue game!!! Gimme that sibling content!!!!!!

Better late than never!! I’m finally getting around to finishing these!!!

Setting: Canon, around the same time as the current story.

—

Payton: Do you think Daddy still loves us?

Emmett: Of course he does.

Payton: Does he love Evan more than us?

Emmett: I…I don’t think so.

Payton: Then why is he always with Evan and not us?

Emmett: Because Evan doesn’t have a Daddy.

Payton: Can he bring Evan here? We can be his family?

Emmett: I don’t think Evan’s mom would like that.

Payton: She doesn’t have to like it, I don’t like her anyway. She’s mean. Can’t Grammy just tell crusty to give Evan to mama?

Emmett: I don’t think it works like that.

Payton: But Grammy is the queen, she can do whatever she wants.

Emmett: She could, but she’d probably get in a lot of trouble with the country. Grammy has to make sure she doesn’t get everybody angry. If she does we won’t be able to be who we are.

Payton: I don’t get it.

Emmett: me neither but that’s what mama tells me.
