The Fae: Seelie and Unseelie Courts

The fey are originally the offspring of demons and angels, with the beauty of angels and the viciousness of demons. The Fair Folk cannot be said to be morally aligned with either of their parent races. They are good and evil tangled up, following neither the morality of Heaven nor the immorality of Hell but rather their own capricious code of behavior. They are very long-lived and become only more artful and powerful as they age. 

Although the fey are active members of Downworld, faeries are more removed from the affairs of our world than any other known creatures except angels. They usually keep to themselves, and have their own complex politics and social structures, which only tangentially affect our world. Commonly they are organized into Courts, with sovereigns presiding over specific territories in our world and in theirs. They delight in manipulating one another, and usually if the problems of the fey intrude into our world, it is the result of conflicts between rival courts, sometimes playful, sometimes serious and brutal…

Sims in Ancient Egypt

tyrellsimsoficeandfire:

You might have noticed my absence for the past weeks. That was because I’m quite busy right now and not in real mood for simming. But when I had time, I tried something new:

image

I noticed that there are mostly medieval or 17th/18th century simblrs, we have fabulous @grecoromansimspoetry but no Ancient Egypt (as we had in TS2). I wanted to change this.

Most of you don’t know but in my freetime I write a bit of a novel set in Egypt during the time of Pharaohs Akhenaten and Tutankhamun. No serious thing, just for fun! I recreeated some bits with sims and wil post them ocassionally tagged as #sims 3 ancient egypt. 

In no particular or chronological order because I don’t know where this idea will lead me!

SCENE VI: Kings of the World

romeo-and-juliet-sims:

image

“Oh Romeo, what’s the matter with you? “  Benvolio asked. Since he met his cousin in
the afternoon, he had been spreading such a horrible mood. He was simply sad
and they all suspected what was wrong.

image

“Sad hours seem long” Romeo said.

image

image

“What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?” Actually,
Benvolio didn’t want to know or he already knew. Romeo loved sweet Rosalina but
Rosalina didn’t love him back. Old song.

image

“You know, boy, I’m already twenty years old. Women
desired me, they taught me what they know but I never felt… loved.”

image

“You know that love is just a game for many?” Benvolio
asked unnecessary. Actually, they came here to meet up with their friends.
Mercutio wasn’t here yet, but he planned some fun for tonight…

“I hope to find true love once. My mother expects too
much. Now she expects me to lead the Bank and soon she’ll want me to take a
bride of her choosing…”

image

“Then choose me, my beloved”, Mercutio approached from
the dark. He was dressed up to the nines. Greek toga, golden horns and mask. He
looked like a satyr.

And Benvolio wore a fool’s dress. The other’s as well.
Only Romeo wasn’t masked. They wanted to go to some masquerade. He didn’t
intend to be with them.

image

“You know what day is today?” Mercutio asked as he
began climbing to the edge of the fountain.

image

“Saturday?” Romeo answered.

“It is but it is that day our old foe Capuletti
celebrates every year.”

“The anniversary of his great victory?” asked Romeo.
“The one at the battle of Pad… Pav…Pam…”

“Some stupid Italian town, certainly” said Mercutio.
“But more important: We are going to crash his Masquerade tonight.”

image

“Should we really make our entrance there in
disguise?” Romeo protested and it was Benvolio who took the word:

“Oh, I hope Cupid’s arrow will hit the Capuletti girls
when they see us!”

“We’ll kiss them and do thing a lot sweeter. And poor
Tebaldo can’t do anything”, Mercutio announced. “Because we are young and
fierce. We are the kings of the world!”

image

Suddenly someone took out his flute. “Take your lute,Romeo!” All the youths were dancing and singing they
tried to free Romeo from his sadness. And they sang:

image

“We
know how to live we squeeze the juice from every moment

We
make love day after day night after night we sing we dance

It
makes no sense in being careful not when time files like an arrow

We
take every risk that’s out there we’re prepared to take that chance

We
are the…

image

 

Kings
of the world, free as the wind

Looking
for sins that we haven’t yet sinned

They
think they’re smart, but they’re really quite dumb

You
miss the tune when you’re banging your drum”
