Remember some time back where I publicly declare my love hate relationship for the sims - for it being so entertaining but it’s taking my life away?
Well, just like how I got addicted to it, I cured it. However, I still have pictures of me sending them to slavery in their undies on my phone - Slave land is what the BF calls my sim land. And I really don’t want to delete them. So they shall go here. I don’t forced them to slave all day, alright?
Look they are lining up to enter the pool.
Being squared up like rubics cube in the pool while they take turn on that small little slide.
Yes, that’ a black rabbit.
They even have family meals at each other houses! Isn’t that adorable? Plus, it’s the most efficient way to get their ‘needs’ fulfilled.
I mean no doubt, there are some crazy incidents such as my sim praying to the TV.
Or a wizard going swimming.
But I assure you, it’s not all slavery - there’s lots of weirdness too.
So the sim freeplay have this easter egg where if you shake your phone, your sim will vomit. Since I have a land of slave sims. I decided to try that out.
I was not disappointed.
While my poor slave sim mops the floor while it rains,
They dance.
Now I can finally delete those screenshots out of my phone. God bless.
P.s. Should I auto post my IG photos on my tumblr or should I just post tumblr stuff like these kind of posts because I’m posting twice a day on IG now and I’m afraid that is going to clutter my tumblr - like it have already not.
This is giving me anxiety like

Thanks @uglierthanyou for the questions!
1. What is your mother tongue?
English.
2. What are the official languages of the country you live in?
Just English (Australia be boring)
3. Are there any minority languages in your country? Are you interested in them?
There are hundreds of Aboriginal ones. I’m only really interested in Turrbal (general Brisbane area).
4. Are there any minority / extinct languages you are interested in?
The only minor one I’m interested in is Turrbal.
5. How many languages can you speak and on what level?
Ich spreche Englisch und Deutsch. Mein Englisch ist sehr gut weil, du kennst. Mein Deutsch ist Scheisse zwar.
(I speak English and German. My English is very good because, you know. My German is shit though.)
6. When did you start learning your second language?
In 2014 I started learning German. A lot of life stuff happened though and I’ve only really just continued progressing.
7. Is second language a mandatory subject in your country and how many hours per day do children learn it?
I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory in every school to have at least one language subject (elective or not). At my schools Japanese was mandatory from grade six to grade eight. Hours would most likely be just one in each school.
8. What do you think about immersion? Have you ever / would you like to try it?
I’d like to try it. However, I think I’d freak the fick out at first.
9. How many languages are you learning at the moment {self-study counts} ?
German and Hungarian. If you count that gosh darn mandatory secondary education, I’m still learning English, too.
10. What languages would you like to learn in the {near} future?
Dutch and French. And, of course, Turrbal.
11. Do you prefer attending courses / classes or learning on your own? Why?
I’ve had to do Japanese for three years and I’ve found I much more enjoy learning at my own pace. Even if it takes four years to become fluent in one language.
12. Is there a language you have just given up on although you really wanted to master it?
French. However, I was six.
13. Is {are} there word{s} you just always misspell?
English- odyssey (I end up screwing it up like ‘oddysey’)
German- their spelling is pretty straight forward (though I do sometimes forget the ‘ä‘ in ‘Mädchen’)
Hungarian- goddamn szepen
14. Do you have favourite words?
Of course I do! It’s Scheisse, duh.
15. What aspect{s} of language interests you?
The formalities. Take English for example. I love and appreciate how we have an informal and formal version for just about every phrase.
16. What linguistic category interests you the most? {lexicology, semantics...}?
*googles linguistic categories* It’s probably ethnolinguistics.
17. Favourite language teacher?
My grade seven Japanese teacher was amazing. Mostly because she didn’t really mind that I didn’t have a great interest in the language.
18. What does your name mean and from what language does it come from?
My name is a combination/mash-up of two names. The first one’s Northern English and is derived from the place name Hailey (apparently). The second one’s Anglo-French and is derived from the occupation tailor.
19. Native speaker or not, as a teacher?
I find native teachers really awesome since you get to learn a lot about the culture of where the language you’re learning originates.
20. In case you are planning to have children, would you like to raise them bilingual {multilingual}? Or in another case, what do you think about teaching such young children languages?
I’d love to raise my (future) children bilingual. Their first word might end up being Scheisse though...
21. Do you think that one day we will speak only English?
With something as monumentally popular as the Internet and our habit of documentation, our world’s knowledge is only going to grow.
22. What is the hardest language to learn in your opinion?
Every East Asian language.
23. Favourite foreign name{s}?

Taurus: German
Gemini: Mandarin

you're so cute roger
Kids. Teenagers. As someone staring 40 in the face lemme tell you a thing.
You are going to be horrified and embarrassed at some point by the shit you are doing now.
And you are going to wish with all your might you’d done more of it.
You’re gonna wish you had more selfies, more photos, more videos being dumb with your friends. You’re going to wish you’d had your hair even higher or your shoes even sparklier.
Go. Document the shit out of your ridiculous life. Fuck trends but if you wanna be trendy, go all in. Fuck in-groups and subcultures but if one sings to you, do it all. Be exactly as cool or punk rock or goth or fandom or country or hardcore or hip hop or whatever, and don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Just don’t hurt people. That’s the only thing you’ll ever genuinely live to regret.
Nearly nine years on and you’re still missed

About a week ago I posted this.
I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:
and my personal favorite
After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.
About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like
I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like
This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”
But I guess the lesson goes like this:
DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
I am strong.
I have powers.
So my boyfriend came out as trans last night and I realized something… back when we first started dating we identified as lesbians, then I came out as trans and consequently realized I’m bisexual, and now I’m in a gay relationship. So what I’m trying to say is that I have actually been LGBT as a singular person. Every single acronym. I have ascended and reached gay nirvana
