The Kingdom of SimDonia (@bridgeportbritt)

The Empire of Pierreland (@officalroyalsofpierreland)

The Kingdom of Uspana (@nexility-sims)

The Ionian Union (@funkyllama)

Empire of Francesim (@empiredesimparte)

The Kingdom of Illyria (@the-lancasters)

The conference is set to start in two weeks.

We assure all nations of our steadfast commitment to foster meaningful dialogue and cooperation during this remarkable summit.

First Wählen - The conference and conversations with @hormelfoods encouraged me to rethink my world, so the President/Elected Minister has been changed to the First Wählen, a rough google translation. In the setting of my story, it simply means "the elected one".

Primar Council - The Primar Council are the core member's of the First Wäheln's cabinet and are constitutionally required to be filled before Her Majesty grant the Wäheln permission to form a government in Her name. Rough google translation of primary council.

i, frankly, haven't had the energy or positive mindset to sit down and write anything extensive out for this gratitude day, which is is a shame. however, i wanted to post something, with promises to outpour more love next year !

at this moment, i believe it's fair to say i'm most grateful for the folks in my simblr writing group. i've told you all multiple times how happy being in a group together makes me but, damn it, everyone else needs to know, too !!!! it's only been two months, but it feels like so much longer because everyone has been so enthusiastic and earnest—in general, but also with embracing each other's stories, getting to know one another, providing support and assistance. that was all i wanted. this little community's establishment has coincided with a terrible loss and truly awful time in my life, and i just can't adequately express how appreciative i am for everyone. i want to shoutout @300yearschallenge, @bridgeportbritt, @crownsofesha, @daniigh0ul, @greensleeves101066, @lynzishell, @madebysimblr, @rebouks, @simming-in-the-rain, @simstrashkingdom, @sirianasims, @saerelia, and @hannahssimblr in particular for so many insightful, instructive, funny conversations. it's so wild to me that i just met most of you and yet am excited every day to see what you've got to say. that's to say nothing of the storytelling itself !!!!! i'm grateful as well for @digital-deluxe @earthmoonz @funkyllama @housekonig @igglemouse @moonfromearth @simabloom @simeaz @simmysunset @stillgotme @the-lancasters @theroyalthornoliachronicles @trentonsimblr @warwickroyals @saerelia @xldkx i still have lots of catching up to do, but i'm happy to say i've started and am enjoying several, finally. i'm taking notes, whether it's on family dynamics or compelling prose or friendship or the importance of backgrounds and settings or whatever else. lastly, perhaps predictably: i haven’t kept up with too many stories this year for various reasons, but i have been @armoricaroyalty's biggest fan for the last two years. i’m grateful that gabe and i had such a truly epic, ridiculously fun collaborative project this year (almost entirely gabe’s doing, which makes me even more determined to repay the favor). i’m also so proud and happy that gabe’s story has really hit its stride and garnered a lot of well-deserved praise this year.

the big reason why i love gabe’s story is because there are so many interesting characters, all doing something, all woven together in ways that feel realistic and suspenseful and dramatic and hilarious and romantic … it takes a little bit of talent, a lot of skill, and a boatload of discipline to pull that off. gabe has all of it, and i’m so grateful to have been allowed to join in—whether as an enthusiastic sounding board, a partner in plotting, or just someone to agree heartily that, yes, that freddy poll had one (1) correct answer. i'm so excited to see the story continue now that this phenomenal chapter is ending, i have and will continue to learn a lot about the craft from gabe, and my own storytelling has improved immensely just by association (you know, plus the fact that my current project wouldn’t exist without him). oh, and: simblr is also about making friends, and our friendship is hands-down the best thing i've gotten out of this whole endeavor.

all of this makes me believe, in conclusion, that 2024 is going to be full of more delightful conversation, more delightful stories to read, and more friendship ♥️

Thank you!

I am not nearly as eloquent as @nexility-sims but I am going to try. Thank you to the Simblr Writing group, without you I would still be thinking oh it would be cool to start writing again. You have all been so supportive and kind. I've been recently dealing with a very bad creative block and reading other people's work has helped me so much.

A big shout out to @daniigh0ul and @armoricaroyalty, without you two Simblr gratitude day wouldn't not exist!

Thank you to everyone who interacts with my posts in some way. It's terrifying putting your work out there for everyone to see, but you make it so much easier. You let me know that someone sees your work and likes it enough to interact with the post.

Her Majesty's Garden Party a Delight at the R4 Conference

World leaders took a break from their normal briefings, meetings, and seminars to attend a Her Majesty's Garden Party, hosted in honor of the R4 Conference. The former palace at Chandler Park in City-Center provided the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of laughter and conversations. Delegates and leaders were seen chatting away, sharing lighthearted banter, and discussing initiatives for a better and stronger region.

[Heads of State and world leaders pose in front of their respective national flags]

The palace even released a photos, via the Royal Circulate and SiennaImages.

The party was not just an opportunity for world leaders to come together—it was also an occasion to appreciate the arts, with live music and performances that kept guests entertained. However, their day isn't over since the conference continues this evening, where leaders will attend a "State of the Region" dinner, set to engage in further discussions on the most pressing regional challenges and opportunities.

WORLD LEADERS VISIT MEMORIAL OF THE UNNAMED WARRIOR

This morning, world leaders from the R4 Conference gathered to pay a solemn visit to the Memorial of the Unnamed Warrior east of Belen City. The visit not only served as a sign of unity among member-nations, but also to honor the brave individuals who have fought tirelessly for their countries. With a symbolic backdrop, these leaders posed on the steps near the Fountain of Peace. The heads of state also took part in a deeply significant ceremony, each laying a wreath in tribute to the fallen soldiers. This intimate and emotional session was conducted in private, closed off to photographers.

As the R4 conference draws to a close today, one of the final activities on the agenda will be the customary R4 "family photo," capturing a memorable moment among the key figures present at the event. To conclude the conference, Her Majesty The Queen will host a state dinner at Vernick Palace this evening, honoring the leaders for their efforts in collaborative discussions and diplomacy. The unforgettable evening is set to mark not only the end of a successful conference, but also to celebrate the hopeful impact of decisions made for the betterment of the regional community.

thoughts on simblr gratitude day...

creation & ideation

thank you, @armoricaroyalty for creating space for kindness in the community. It's needed and appreciated more than you realize.

the people

in so many ways, my goal was to build community this year. oddly enough, i limited that experience to just in-person, forgetting (and sometimes neglecting) the community built here. community that cares for and contributes to my story and my person. so, thank you to those people, you know who you are.

i want to give a special shoutout to @armoricaroyalty again for affirming for me that community comes in many forms and has many tethers. time spent on discord has made life and my story better. thank you.

our stories

wow. so many amazing artists out there. some shedding light on stories all too familiar and authentic (@cinamun, @rebouks). some building worlds so well-planned, they feel lived in; the lots, the looks, all feel uniquely yours, thank you (@nexility-sims, @funkyllama, @trentonsimblr, @empiredesimparte), @warwickroyals), @theroyalthrones, @theroyalsims, @theroyalthornoliachronicles) many of you also have and continue to inspire me to work harder and want more for my story and my characters -- thank you, @plumbobtv, @warwickroyals, @armoricaroyalty, @bridgeportbritt.

(THERE'S MORE I WANT TO SAY BUT IM TRYING TO KEEP IT CUTE & CONCISE SO YOU ACTUALLY READ IT :D)

i KNOW there are MANY people i am forgetting, especially some who aren't as active anymore (@batsfromwesteros, @simoviacourt , @thesimpireblr, @royaltysimblr, @threethousandplumbobs, @valennciaroyals). so as i often say,

judge my head & not my heart.
