@everfallsims Double Shot at Love!
GET TO KNOW HIM | MOOD BOARD
(I recommend viewing the links above before reading under the cut)
Interview about the challenge under the cut!
Hey there *winks* I’m Brendon Faust, and I will be interviewed by my little sister right here.
Hi guys! Rylee here. This video will be sent to the production team of “Double Shot at Love”, and then uploaded to my youtube channel, where I assume you are viewing from right now. Let’s start!
Rylee: Finally! You’re actually doing something for your own dating life! I’ve been setting you up on dates for a few years now *blabbers on about failed dates*
Brendon: You know I was busy with work and travel. Aaand that no girl came across that interests me until now.
R: There’s two of them right? So, who do you like more??
B: They’re both physically attractive to me, I mean talk about genes blessed by the gods themselves!
R: Right?! Omg I loooove their make-up and fashion sense! And their hairstyles? Damn i wish-
B: *stares blankly*
R: Oh yeaah... this interview is for YOU not me...
B: *laughs* yes Rylee, my sweet little sister who has a fanbase that can destroy my social media image with a hashtag.
R: Aww you know my fans love you! But! You still haven’t answered who you like more.
B: Evani. Just basing on how I know them from now, I felt a harder pull towards her.
R: What?! But you totally vibe with Bambi! *whispers* plus i totally want her as my sister-in-law too it will be fun
B: I do actually see a part of me in Bambi, and I think we’d have an amazing time together! We view life as one big adventure, and we don’t let anyone dictate our lives. Plus yeah, it’s important for my future wife to have a good relationship with my sister.
R: What do you see in Evani, then?
B: She’s curious and dedicated. I think if given the chance, our relationship’s foundation would be growth as individuals and as partners. And as of the moment, we have the same mindset. We’re in this to find someone to spend the rest of our lives with, and have a family together. You know this sis, I’ve always wanted a family of my own, a big and happy one.
R: So what happens when you dont end up with either of them?
B: Well...
R: PLEASE dont tell me you’re gonna be forever alone........... heLLO????
Callum Cockburn for @everfallsims Double Shot At Love
First things first, it’s COH-burn. Not COCK-burn.
𝙱𝚁𝙾 - 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴𝚂 𝙾𝚄𝚃𝙳𝙾𝙾𝚁𝚂 - 𝙿𝙴𝚁𝙵𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝙸𝚂𝚃
31 years old
From a small fishing village on the western coast of Scotland, Callum is the embodiment of the of the fiery Highland lad many a Scottish girl have fallen for. An avid soccer -- ahem, football -- fan, proficient in the art of banter, and always ready to down a pint, a good time with him is guaranteed. Don’t let his breezy nature fool you, though; with his mathematical brain and high standards, Callum has a perfectionist streak a mile wide... and not only in the work that he does, but the women he dates, too!
More info on Callum below the cut!
Callum Cockburn was born and raised in the town of Kinnaroch on Scotland’s stormy western coast. His mother a local tailor and father a fisherman, his childhood certainly wasn’t posh, but who needs the newest toys when you have the great Scottish countryside to explore? Callum grew up riding his bike for miles to visit the crumbling ruins of castles that dotted the landscape around him. So began his passion for architecture, a passion he pursued until it led him to a cushy job at an architectural firm in Bridgeport. Today, he helps design buildings from San Myshuno to Windenburg, and everywhere in between.
Despite his work taking him far from home, he makes it back to Kinnaroch often to visit his mom (mum?), dad, older sister, younger brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents... well, it’s pretty obvious the Cockburn clan has deep roots in the area.
With his 6′4 frame and massive shoulders, he can shield you from the bone-chilling Scottish wind; with his scratchy yet undeniably-toasty woolen sweaters, he can keep you nice and warm!
As an architect, Callum possesses great technical know-how, and math comes second nature to him. He takes immense pride in the work he does, never accepting less than his absolute best. Unfortunately, he expects this same level of perfection from most other things in life, and often finds that most things fail to measure up. To him, romance is like building a skyscraper; it’s built of straightforward components with a stable, predictable end result. This isn’t to say that he can’t have fun (in fact, he has lots of it), but anything that deviates from the traditional trajectory of a relationship can throw him for a loop. When he first left Scotland, he split with his then-girlfriend because the stresses of a long-distance relationship simply proved too unfamiliar and difficult for him to navigate.
Conversely, when all is going according to the blueprints in his head, you won’t find a sweeter man; he’s the kind of guy who carries you up to bed instead of waking you up. He gets along with nearly everyone, and as a great conversationalist, there’s hardly ever a dull moment. He’s got an infectious sense of humor, and his ribaldry always stops just short of the proverbial line. With his simple upbringing, he’s very much a man-of-the-people -- he has little tolerance for pretensions of superiority, and is inherently suspicious of, even standoffish towards anyone who appears to be fabulously wealthy. He’s a man, not a boy, and rolls his eyes at the needless bravado and machismo that some guys consider an essential part of the courting process. He has virtually no temper to speak of, another side effect of his disdain for unpredictability; he’s the cool and steady presence we all need sometimes.
Some more fun facts about Callum:
Friends and family just call him Cal
He enjoys taking long, long walks, particularly when he’s back in Kinnaroch
His favorite architectural styles are Scots Baronial, Contemporary, and Victorian (he will talk endlessly about this so please don’t get him started)
Like a true Scotsman, he typically doesn’t wear underwear with his kilt
When he told his parents he was auditioning for Double Shot At Love, his dad said “Double Shot? Whit the fuck are ye on aboot” and his mom said “Yer bum’s oot the windae, Cal!”
Has a clear-enough Scottish accent that becomes almost unintelligible when he’s back home
Can probably outdrink you
Favorite food is smoked salmon
His family has a highland cow named David
Gets way too invested in soccer/football, and knows his way around a ball himself
Distantly related to the Stewarts, who trace their ancestry to only a few towns over from Kinnaroch; he has never met them and really couldn’t care less
Thinks his singing voice is a lot better than it actually is (but he’s got an accent so it’s okay)
Has made peace with the fact that no one outside of Scotland will be able to read or speak his last name without thinking of male genitalia
Prized possession is a watch he inherited from his grandfather
Saves more than he spends
Is a Capricorn
Callum has his heart set on Evani; he appreciates her similarly-perfectionistic nature, her high standards, and logical disposition. Will he finally meet the woman who meets all his criteria, or will he be forced to find out that love isn’t always as clear as a Scottish stream?
You guys are doing AMAZING with Love Island. I've never been this excited for updates and I'm waiting for my post notification every day! 🥺❤
Aaah omg Shae 😭❤️ this is so so so so sweet! Thank you for being so nice to us 😭 we love your stories SO MUCH too! Thank you again for your support ❤️❤️❤️
david has been a freelance painter for quite some time now, but has found himself working less and less due to his own self-destructive habits.
28 | he/him | del sol valley
gloomy | lazy | family oriented
born into a small family in del sol valley that just included his happily married mother and father and their multiple dogs, david claims to have had a very boring upbringing, and says the only notable thing from growing up is his growing interest in painting.
while in his school years he was, for the most part, well-off in his art endeavors, being decently popular amidst his peers; he even made it into university with a few accolades under his belt. things were going well even into his young adult years, having a handful of relationships in and out, some job opportunities...
...until he got into a long-term relationship that turned south once he mentioned the possibility of marriage and starting a family, and with that the two broke up. for the past two years now, david has become quite the hermit, trapping himself away in his studio, scrapping almost all the paintings he’s been making; this process began to be tiring, and his flame has almost entirely gone out.
however, after seeing a photo of evani, he was smitten; she was “absolutely effervescent” and has set his sights solely on her. and may it be he isn’t the go-getter type in even the slightest anymore, he’s hoping his incredibly awkward charm and the fact that he even signed up for this will be able to get through to her, if he isn’t that much of a disappointment.
random facts/rambles:
mmm.... definitely a cancer...
dream date ideas: painting the girl he loves but in candlelight (to make it romantic and non-work related)
in the long run, he truly is a hopeless romantic... he just loves girls! so do i! i don’t blame him
an absolute awkward, meek sweetheart with absolutely the worst impulse control
yes he is graying prematurely. do not remind him.
his favorite season is autumn- he can be all bundled up while still wearing the ugliest of dad sandals imaginable
he has no sense of fashion.
legally blind without his glasses/contacts! primarily wears his glasses, though
he smokes...we all have our flaws :pensive emoji:
i imagine he is very tall but i do not have height sliders in my game so i couldn’t make that a reality,,
his posture is terrible i’m so sorry
currently is living out of a rental home!
his home studio is an absolute mess and a nightmare. the rest of his rental is decently kept, but the studio??? god...
is of (the sim equivalent of) korean descent! also i named him after david byrne because i was thinking about. david byrne at the time of needing to name him dskdskgsf,
Eden Schmitt for @everfallsims Double Shot at Love Traits and Aspiration: - Music Lover - Bro - Gloomy -World-Famous Celebrity ~Private download if chosen Eden is a social media sensation, known for pulling pranks on his mates and giving extravagant gifts to his.. uh.. girl mates… if you catch his meaning. He loves his job, his house and his family but he can’t help but wonder if the empty feeling he’s got inside is because he’s missing a soulmate… or because he wasn’t famous enough to be invited to the Royal Wedding. All he really knows is that he HAS to know the Parrish sisters! He has no qualms about falling in love on camera because most of his life has been on camera and if he doesn’t get picked, he figured it would make for a great “story time with Eden” video. Quirks: He can do that neck thing that Katy Perry can do and he brags about it CONSTANTLY He is actually terrible at confrontation (despite being so mischievous) and will always make a joke to ease the tension He is surprising thoughtful and actually does give really good gifts, but he’s a sensational listener as well and gives insightful advice, right before cracking a joke to ease tension He has a lucky coin. Or should I say, MANY lucky coins. If he finds a coin face up then he deems it lucky, should anything unlucky happen then he reasons he must have accidentally spent his lucky coin and will immediately be on the lookout for a new lucky coin. He has never once accidentally spent his lucky coin. He prefers Velcro wallets and will die on this hill. “They’re just so easy and nothing falls out.” Nothing falls out except his lucky coin
The thing I love most about your blog and your gameplay is the storytelling that you pair with the actual gameplay. It's always been the one thing I consume here that inspires me to PLAY. So thank you, India! ❤❤
Shae! Thank you! Gameplay driven storytelling is how I started this blog and something I’ve been wanting to get back to for sooooo long (with several failed attempts, lol). For me, it just makes playing so much more fun when you can create reasoning behind why things that happen, happen and when I see other simmers playing this way, it always makes me want to play too so knowing I inspire you that way makes me so happy! ♥♥
Caspian McDowell for @everfallsims’
“Doble Shot at Love”
Let it never be said Caspian McDowell has trouble in his love life. He is doing just fine. Nothing that could make him wanna enter a reality TV competition. But when he saw Bambi Parrish, all logic flew out the window. He had to get a chance with her.
“Bambi, I think you’re wonderful. Please, give me a chance.”
About Caspian:
27 years old.
Born and raised in Windenburg
Aspiration: Freelance Botanist
Traits: Collector, Gloomy, Foodie, Loves the outdoors.
His parents recently passed away and he inherited their cottage. Family is very important to him. He is really close to his older sister, Casey, and he gets along really well with her wife Fiona. But the apple of his eye is his niece, Aspen. He’d do anything for her.
His mom was a gardener. She inspired him and he learned from her. He absolutely loves his jobs.
Some other things he loves: Christmas, hot chocolate, rain and thunderstorms, autumn, and, of course, flowers.
“Who am I kidding? I just love nature. I could talk about animals all day.”
He would love to have a big family, but he also knows being a parent isn’t easy. So he is willing to compromise. Maybe just a kid or two?
Likes to take hikes by the stream and in the forest. He and his family used to go camping to Granite Falls every year. He continues the tradition with his sister and her family, and hopes to one day bring his own family with him too.
He’d like to say he doesn’t have flaws. But that’d be a lie. He is a gloomy person by nature, and gets sad at random moments. He usually gets isolated during those times to make sure he doesn’t make everyone else around him miserable.
I had to do it! I had to enter this wonderful challenge. I hope you like Caspian. I just realized how much I love character creation. Because at first I was gonna do someone low key, but then I went overboard (because of course I did) and created his whole family. He is a sweet soft boy, and I already love him.
PS: I made him with Bambi in mind, but if he gets drawn to Evani, that’d be perfectly okay. Love works mysteriously, right?
