The Shade

“The seasons are ever changing, flowers wither and die. But we seem to be forever.” 21 | Semi-Literate Roleplayer | 21+ Rper

[the-nightshades]

What is the Shade, you ask?

Welcome one and all to the Shade.

It's a great pleasure to have you all coming here one by one, either for help or other reasons.

What I want to start off with is that everyone far and wide is welcome. You can ask questions for the lovely inhabitance of the shade. Just be careful how you come off as you might not like the response back.

For context most of the side ocs will all be in their mid/late teens, but one of the main ocs is about 1000+ years old. So be mindful of that and you will meet the older ocs who are 20s/early 30s as well.

There will be backstory arcs for most of the main cast, especially the head of the nightshade family. Each story will have an arc or will be continued later on down the line.

Right now this will be my main account for the jump, but I have another account which is @writerofmyths.

Roleplays won't be open until I have fully gotten up all the casts forms and my rp rules. Though small interactions are okay as long as the age of your character is told in advance.

This is an 18+ roleplay blog, so please if you are under that do not interact what so ever.

Have fun my little shaders, and make sure to not inhale the fog. For that's when the truly 'magical' things happen, and we wouldn't wanting you getting lost now would we.

xoxo

As I Nightcrawler fan I am recommending the Uncanny X-men #22, give it a read! I’ve been waiting for Kurt to get the spotlight in this book and he shines here!

Nightcrawler’s romantic, witty, compassionate, swashbuckling, he takes charge.  It’s what I love about Nightcrawler wrapped up in a little one issue package.

I was curious and this is not oc related. Have you seen Sinners by Ryan Coogler yet? Also if you have what are your thoughts on it?

HIII thank you sm for this and also non-rp questions are always welcome! I’m a mfer that loves to yap with his mutuals. I haven’t seen it yet but I’m trying so hard to coordinate my schedule with my friends because I wanna see Sinners so damn baaad !!! Would LOVE to hear your thoughts if you’ve seen it !!

[the-nightshades]

I’ve seen it, and I loved it quite honestly. Like the story telling, cinematography, music, it was just breathtaking. I cried at the end of the movie a bit just because I could see the message at the end from being a writer and just genuinely loving it. Plus it gave me some nice ideas for my ocs. it really just made my soul so happy too. Ryan Coogler did his big one on the movie.

[the-nightshades]

I know I haven’t posted in awhile, but I do wanna say that possibly (in the near future) this blog is gonna get a bit of an upgrade and you’re gonna get to meet all of my muses for the shade, so stay tuned in.

Very disappointed in the Sims community and their very vocal distain towards Black Simmers for begging for a Caribbean/African themed world, especially because they're literally SO MANY American/European themed worlds...like there's even 3 Asian/2 Latinx themed worlds and we barely have 1, EVEN THE DAMN IMAGINARY STAR WARS WORLD BUT NO...we get edges, hairs, SOME clothing, but not a world? Like the closest thing we have to anything Caribbean is the St.Feu household that Maxis created, and even then that's JUST A HOUSEHOLD ON THE GALLERY. Stop silencing BLACK Simmers, like y'all show y'all asses every time we speak our opinions or real shit. A whole account was suspended because of the mass reporting just because a Black Simmer asked to be represented...I hate how even in the big year of 2025, over 25 years of The Sims, it's never enough being a Black Simmer.

[awwhoneybaby]

Like imagine hearing Black Simmers wanting more representation and this is your follow up...lol bye.

❝ would you possibly like to share a drink, sir? ❞ there stood a woman, dressed in a simple black dress, nothing revealing. quite the opposite, she looked almost as if she was in mourning, her arms and legs covered, hair pinned up. yet, there was no sad features on her. ❝ i am unfamiliar what you like so i just bottle a simple bottle of sake ❞ she stood a good distance away from the terrapin, not drenched from the rain but still wet.

"Huh, what the hell?" Raph looked down and was confused and then concerned. Not sure about strangers but not really seeing any threat here. "Oh, uh sure? You wanna tell me what yer doin?" He searched around and brought a towel. "Here so ya don't catch yer death. Oh Sake, more of a Leo thing but damn if I don't have a few Sake flavors that are my go to."

[the-nightshades]

❝ celebrating, but the rain kind of cut that off ❞ the woman takes the towel, as she passes him the sake. wrapping it over her shoulders, she could hear the rain from afar. not so much worried about getting sick, mostly getting caught in it. ❝ i’ll keep in mind those flavors when ever you feel like telling me then ❞

[tri-point-bruiser]

"hmm, makes sense I suppose. Who doesn't like the rain?" He looked at the Sake and noticed it was a nice mid grade brand, not the super cheap stuff so it would be nice and smooth. "Well my favorite is Lychee, but it drinks like candy and I can have way too much before I realize it is a problem. Next would be plum, hardest to find flavor but it is good. I like plum wine as well if I am not lookin ta get shitfaced. Leo got me hooked on it."

[the-nightshades]

❝ yeah, quite the unfortunate turn of events ❞ truly she wished the rain hadn’t caused the celebration to be cut short. however she knew it was bound to happen. glancing over at him she turned back to watch the rain falling. ❝ do you wish to have a drink with me of the sake? ❞ she didn’t verbally take note of what he had told her, but more so of a mental note. looking over at him curiously, wondering what his answer would be. her dark black hair sticking to her face.

[tri-point-bruiser]

"Well I suppose it would be rude to not share a drink. Come on in where it is warm, ya don't really seem like a threat. Also if this is poisoned it wont work on me, just lettin ya know." Raph guided the strange woman into his kitchen and gestured for her to sit at the table while he got a couple of small cups. He poured them each a little and slid hers over. "So, any particular reason you decided that offering a giant mutant booze was the right move?"

[the-nightshades]

the woman began following him inside, as she places the towel over the seat. she moves to take a seat, her sleeves draping over the counter. ❝ no reason mostly just looking for someone to share a drink with. ❞ which was half the truth, she had been curious about this mutant. though not in the sense of obsession just wondering who he was. as she thanks him for the glass, she takes the time to bring it to her lips. though she covered her lower mouth with sleeve of her dress, shooting back the drink and then placing the glass down.

[tri-point-bruiser]

"I suppose that isn't the weirdest thing I have ever heard. Though I don't usually see people wanderin around with booze looking ta share it with strangers. Especially a monster like me." He grinned at her and tilted his head watching her drink. "So, ya ain't runnin or screamin, so what is the deal. Most people take one look and about shit themselves at the sight of me."

[the-nightshades]

❝ believe me, i have seen monsters. you aren’t one i guarantee you. ❞ as she takes the sake bottle she pours herself something. it’s been a minute since she had a proper drink, most of the flash stuff in bars. some good old sake is the what she needed. as she fills her glass to the brim, she places the bottle on the table. ❝ though i will admit you struck my interest, you have many fan blogs. at the very least a few that i have come across. ❞

[tri-point-bruiser]

Raphael shrugs a bit. "Trust me, I know what I am talkin about. I am a monster, doesn't mean it is always a bad thing though." He watches her drink and takes a sip from his own cup just raising a brow. Not really sure what she is talking about but then he doesn't always understand the hip lingo people are using these days.

"So what were ya supposed ta be celebratin?"

[the-nightshades]

the woman gave a nod of accpetance, as she takes another drink from her glass, this time nursing her drink rather than throwing it back. as she looks at the turtle, she takes the time give a soft smile. ❝ the passing of a life, an old friend of mine. ❞ there was no sadness when she spoke, it was almost matter of fact in the way she talked about those she was near and dear too.

❝ so tell me, what do you do？ ❞

[tri-point-bruiser]

"Oh, eh, sorry fer yer loss. I know losin people ain't easy. Sometimes ya get ta per-grieve and it seems easier, but loss is never easy." Raph looked at her a little suspiciously. That was a quick subject change, but considering the subject he probably would have done the same so he just shrugged.

"Well, a guy like me can't exactly work in an office. So I do what I gotta to survive. Mostly I patrol, keep the gang activity in check. Save people where I can, and I help the homeless as much as possible. Do what I can to get them supplies, keep em safe. In return they keep our secrets."

[the-nightshades]

If the woman seemed to switch subjects, it was not truly intentional. For moments such a grief and loss, she knows they are inevitable. All things must die, or at least that’s what an old shaman told her. If only some things could die, usually they came back stronger, damn near twisted. At the moment she made a sound, small and mindless but she was intrigued by how he talked about his job.

❝ It’s good you’re able to be a staple in the community, but I doubt you’re compensated for that. ❞ She knows that type of work doesn’t pay the bills, and maybe she was curious what does exactly. It’s noble, don’t get her wrong, but she was a very curious woman, and questions always came from her mind. ❝ If you’re okay with telling, how did you obtain your home financial wise. ❞

[tri-point-bruiser]

Raphael laughed slightly. "Yeah, I love my job, but the pay sucks." It was a common joke amongst him and his brothers. However, they each had ways of making money without revealing themselves. It was easy to set up accounts and do business entirely online, but he didn't make all that much off the stuff he sold, but enough to survive at least.

"Well, I found my home, the same way we found our original. I live underground, it is hidden and secure. I don't gotta pay anyone. My brother set up our places with everythin we need. We tap into the power grid and he knows how to keep it under the radar. It isn't about havin ta pay ta live ya know. Sure still gotta eat, but we got ways around that too. I make a little money sellin stuff on line, and we find lots of treasure underground. People lose all kinds of shit. We just have human friends act as the go between with pawn shops and such."

[the-nightshades]

❝ Do you believe that humans might accept you, not all, but some? ❞ Her eyes stared at his frame, as he took the time to look over his facial features, searching for something. Maybe. It was hard to tell with the way her eyes were verly visible at times from how her eye lids were positioned over them. Removing her attention from his features, she let it landed back on the small glass in her hand. Taking another sip from the glass, she places it back down a soft hum coming for her. It felt like she was asking more questions than she should, but at the same time she was curious about the mutant. From all he's told her, she's learned he is a staple in the community, getting by with selling things on the web, hiding from outside world because of the risk of ridicule. What else was there, shoot had she lost track of the other things. Ah, right he had brothers just like him. Quite interesting, at least he wasn't alone in hiding from the world. Still, he was still hiding nonetheless.
