(On admire ce titre, s'il vous plaît)

Hello les loupiotes !
J'ai été SU-PER inactif, à part pour mon challenge S2 (je vais passer sur vos histoires bientôt, juré !... je tombe en vacances le mois prochain !)... mais j'ai reçu un mail d'Ekla no thanks to you et ça m'a donné envie de recommencer à poster des trucs, sooo... du coup j'ai concocté un petit challenge personnel, mais vu que j'aime bien partager, je partage.

Alors. C'est totalement inspiré du Not So Berry de lilsimsie et alwaysimming, je vais même pas tenter de prétendre le contraire. Anyway. J'ai décidé de prendre l'arc-en-ciel (mais on remplace l'indigo par du rose), parce que- GAY. Voilà. Après, j'ai aussi décidé de m'inspirer des signes du zodiac des gens qui me sont proches. Et du mien, aussi. Puis j'ai fait un mix entre ma propre expérience avec ces personnes et ce que j'ai lu sur ce site (qui est SPOT-ON pour l'Aquarius en ce qui me concerne, btw, du début à la fin !... c'est pour ça que j'ai fait un pavé pour le mien, oui, pourquoi ?)

Si ça vous tente, voici les règles ; en anglais, pour me faciliter la vie (mon jeu est en anglais), mais si ça vous tente que je traduise (pas que ce soit le challenge le plus intéressant ou quoi, mais voilà, si ça intéresse quelqu'un...), ça me ferait PLAI-SIR sisi : 

[Quick edit juste pour être sûr: c'est pour les S4, guys !]

Je me souviens plus du tout comment
commencer / structurer ce genre
d'articles, du coup... hello there,

je n'ai rien posté ici depuis un sacré bail, du coup je me suis dit que ce serait bien de me montrer le bout du nez. Pas qu'y'est encore quelqu'un par ici *criquets*, mais voilà ;

ça va sûrement tourner somewhat personal, donc si vous n'êtes pas confortable avec ça, eh... click off ?

writing is hard, man

j'allais poster une update, sur mon legacy, genre "non je n'ai pas abandonné le projet, but, mental health, blah blah"... mais en vérité, si, j'ai un peu abandonné (?). Pas parce que je m'ennui / n'ai plus d'inspiration (mon cerveau b o u i l l o n ne, en fait), mais parce qu'un de mes personnages est directement inspiré de mon vécu. Du coup ça m'ai rendu difficile d'écrire pour lui sans me plonger la tête première dans ce que j'essai déjà d'éviter dans mon quotidien.

Dysphorie, tout ça.

dramatic, much ? // it's called f e e l i n g s // ew // yeah...

Plus précisément, le début, quand tu viens de sortir du placard et que la plupart des gens refusent de d'accepter la réalité parce qu'iels veulent pas faire aucune sorte d'effort traduction : ne te respecte pas, mais se cache quand même derrière le "je respecte tes choix, mais je n'ai pas à les accepter". Parce que c'est t e l l e m e n t compliqué de dire "il" au lien d' "elle"... non aucun argument n'est valide oops, ça vient de devenir un rant. Les gens commencent à peine à utiliser mon nom (choisi ? de préférence ? whatever ), et ça va faire cinq ew ans bientôt.

(en passant, je crois que j'ai jamais clairement dit que je suis un homme trans sur ce blog )

but it's just fiction... ? // no // it can't be that hard // yes

Premièrement, spoilers ; Michael est still dans la phase mentionnée au-dessus, du coup ça me rend malade de devoir me mettre dans sa peau et, franchement, me fait beaucoup de mal pour aucun bien. Scénario parlant, Je pensais ne suivre qu'Aeline et Ashton jusqu'à ce que Michael commence à faire comprendre à tout le monde que, non, ce n'est pas juste une phAsE... mais j'ai l'impression de prendre la voie facile et d'ignorer une importante partie de l'histoire (dans le fond, je suis juste impossible à satisfaire). M'enfin, on verra ce qui me vient naturellement...

Secondement, j'ai quand même une bonne nouvelle : je commence à parler à un.e thérapeute pour différents-problèmes-variés dans trois ou quatre mois (y'a une massive wait list ) ! Pour le plus important (si si) : ma transition médicale. Also, j'ai finalement été diagnostiqué avec quelque chose, du coup je devrais finalement recevoir de l'aide au-delà du bois-de-l'eau-fais-de-l'exercice-tu-devrais-essayer-la-méditation-manges-mieux-essaies-de-penser-à-autre-chose. Iels ont attendu que je sois au bout du rouleau, mais je vais prendre tout ce qu'on me donne, hein.

(rappelez-moi de prendre une photo à chaque mois, après que j'ai commencé mes hormones)

so it's gonna be easier, right ? // dude, it's not that simple
stream Easier by 5 Seconds Of Summer on Spotify 

Après, cette "première phase", c'est pas juste des transphobes caché.e.s say you're transphobic and go, b- , c'est aussi la partie avant la certitude et la fierté assumée. "Ew je suis sûrement juste un tomboy" et cetera. Transphobie intériorisée, apparemment.

J'en suis sorti depuis un petit bout, mais, sans vouloir être dramatique, elle me hante encore. C'est juste impossible pour beaucoup de personnes trans (d'après mon expérience et ce que j'ai lu / entendu) de ne pas se dire "et si... je faisais semblant ?", même après des années (je suis certain que le reste de la communauté à des expériences similaires- je parle seulement du t, là, tout de suite, maintenant).

Non, ça ne va pas mieux, c'est pire. La dysphorie évolue avec le temps. La dernière évolution, si ça vous tente : je peux même pas dire / écrire / entendre le mot boobs en français sans me rendre dysphorique, ni faire de yoga pendant eh- un certain truc qui arrive une fois par mois (non, ça non plus je peux pas en entendre parler) ?

(j'ai commencé à faire du yoga, en passant, c'est bien fun )

just stop thinking about it // i'm not even thinking about it

tl;dr : j'ai rien écrit depuis au moins deux ans parce que je vais pas bien, mais j'y travaille i think.

Vraiment désolé de vous avoir utilisé en tant que thérapeute temporaire, j'avais juste besoin d'en parler un peu, j'y arrive pas du tout irl. Je vais essayer de poster des trucs positifs, un jour, maybe.

À l'attendant... à la revoyure, les loupiotes ~

 

 

 

Hello les loupiotes !

Voici un autre challenge inspiré du Not So Berry de lilsimsie et always simming, pour tenter de me forcer à faire des trucs que je ne fais jamais dans les S3. Voilà.

Also, c'est en anglais, pour me faciliter la vie (mon jeu est en anglais).

General Rules :

• Adjust the duration of each lifestage as you wish, as long as the total lifespan is around 90 days
• Try to not abuse cheats, it's more fun (imo) that way
• You can live wherever, move whenever, switch household, choose a cousin to be an heir, idc, unless stated otherwise
• Feel free to create (or modify existing premades) the spouses ! As long as they meet the requirement.s for each generation, you good
• Since the outcome of a pregnancy is somewhat random and, also, a lot of the traits are not available for toddlers, I made two of the traits for each generation optional. If you want to give your heirs all of them but the game didn't let you, feel free to cheat it or use the "midlife crisis" reward trait (only available to YA and up)
  
  

Just to be sure :

• When I say "children", I don't mean "have multiple children", I mean "whatever amount of kid or kids you want to have (unless stated otherwise)"
• When I say "parents" I mean "whatever type of caregiver or caregivers (or lack of) you have". When I say "parent" I mean "the heir of the previous generation"
• When I say "siblings", your heir might not have siblings. I'm just trying to create a story here, buddy

 

Generation 1 - Pink

On a hot sunny day (or not), you decide to leave your family and their boring suburbian lifestyle behind to try and make it in the film industry.
