AAVE In Kpop Fandoms

AAVE in Kpop Fandoms

(sorry for grammar mistakes/typos im just not feeling it right now lol)

I just feel that this is something that needs to be talked about, not everyone would agree but for those that do, please read and feel free to share your own opinions or experiences.

AAVE has taken over the kpop fandom. If you dont know aave, it is african american vernacular english or black english as referred to by some (or ghetto english as referred to by…some). If you still don’t know what it is well then google is your best friend. The use of aave is seriously the most annoying thing that I would have never expected to annoy me…ever. I know you’re probably wondering why, right? It is because I, myself, am an aave user and have been all of my life. It is my preferred way of speech, although I use “proper” english a majority of the time. So yeah although I speak the “proper” english dialect, my dialect is that of certain southern aave. So how am I annoyed by my own/similar dialects? There are many reasons that I will discuss but it is mainly because aave is utterly, unremarkably overly used all the while being misused to the point that it isnt even ridiculous anymore; its maddening. You think I’m being dramatic? I wish I were, because I am so mad right now. (lol nah just a little bit)

The amount of kpop fans misusing words [and/or phrase] like “hater” [or “hate on”] is just cringe worthy. But its not just that, there are other aave words and phrases that are misused; i’m sure that we all can think of one that gets on our nerves when used incorrectly. I simply brought up “hater” and “hate on” because its just everywhere, i cant escape it, especially on this blog in particular. (not towards the admins i love you guys!)

A lot of kpop fans (we all know those kpop fans) even have the audacity to argue using aave and cant even properly get that way of speech off of their tongues none-the-less off the tips of their fingers to type like… what makes them think…? ..Idek. Or, even worse, they try to boast their bias(es) by using aave…but they use it wrongly (lmfao) -_-. Its just… its bad. (I wish I could give proper examples but i’m sure someone can share some examples that bugs them or that they’ve seen often. However, Its no biggie really.) I guess the one thing i can think of is people telling others to “stop hating on (bias’ name)” but its like seriously your bias, is (probably) freaking amazing, no one is hating on them simply because we are criticizing something (bias) has done. Everyone should be accountable for their mistakes and/or actions; simply calling them out is NOT “hating” in any shape or form. People act as though you cant constructively criticize anymore; foreal though how are people gonna get any better if there is not any acknowledgements, acceptance, nor accountability for their actions? That just allows them to just do what ever they please and people will still mindlessly worship the ground they walk on…that’s just not okay. I may have digressed a bit but… lol.

Anyway, the point of this submission is not to tell people to stop using aave nor to just rant (ok so yeah it is a rant but its not ONLY a rant ok lol) but I just want people to be aware of the things that they are saying. If you are going to use it, at least have some kind of foundation of the meaning(s) behind them, where it comes from, and learn how to use it properly (and actually have some respect for those that do use it in life because wow ppl talk mad shxt towards frequent aave users but majority of them try to use the same words/phrases to look “cool” or to impress others. No, stop, dunt do that.) AAVE is like speaking a new language and it has its ways that work and its ways that do not work. Believe it or not, aave has its own structure. The people that are not aware of this are just butchering it because of the lack of…exposure to actual USERS of the dialect(s). (Because foreal foreal, how many non-black (or non-african american) kpop fans have besties from the hood. Not saying that all aave is spoken from people inside those areas but a lot of it does come from there, just an example.)

One more thing that I have noticed about the use of aave in relation to kpop blogs: The blogs that are obviously black (or african american) and use frequent and proper aave (yes proper because lets admit that even some blacks cannot use aave properly lol they arent expected to ofc im js) are blogs that tend to not be as popular. They have all the components of a quality blog and are amazing people but just…not popular or even known; especially not as popular as the obviously non-black kpop blogs that stan kpop-hiphop and have the frequent misuses of aave (and often culture appropriation, which the misuse(s) of aave can been seen as such also). However, that’s just my observation but, I think that says a lot about the kpop fandom…

Well, that is it! I hope you guys had a good read or something!

Into The Future Soil Rugs With Additional Invisible Presets - default replacement

This was requested by @echoweaver (sorry it took me so long to upload!). I added a second invisible preset to all five ITF soil rugs so they are a bit more versatile. I decided against replacing the original texture with an empty one because I didn't want it to mess up pre-built houses in Oasis Landing, so instead I added a new preset. Because of that, I had to edit the .OBJD resources along with the textures, so if you're using these hiders by @bioniczombie, make sure to delete the hiders for these rugs!

Download (google drive)

Alternative download (dropbox)

Requires Into The Future. Credits to EA for the textures and meshes.

Coloring Books for Kids

2-Sep Update: Thank you @jeebeehey for the French translation (for BASE and Seasons coloring books)! Please redownload if you'd like them.

In anticipation of some toddler mods I have coming out, I'm releasing this old coloring book I made a while ago.

I love the Children Can mod that opens up so much gameplay for kids in the game. However, the sketch book is SO BIG for little kids. So I made a coloring book for them to use.

There are 3 books (Kids/Toys or Hobbies/Skills) and they STACK! I don't know why that's so exciting to me but it is. Each one has a different theme so in addition to painting skill, they can gain gardening, cooking or (if you have my Voidcritters Mod) voidcritters skill.

You need crayons (Kids/Toys) in order to color.

The book is for kids but I added a little fun feature for toddlers where they can steal and eat crayons out of the crayon box which can make them sick and throw up. (that's fun, right?) Note: the crayons have to be within reach for the toddlers, so either on the floor or no higher than end table height.

Credits/Thanks: Coloring book mesh and crayon from @aroundthesims. Crayon box is from TS4. Coloring book pages are from Freepik and Crayola.

You need to have University EP (updated: and Pets EP [for the vomit ya'll]) and the Children Can mod installed since it uses those animations.

Enjoy and let me know if there are any issues.

Once upon a time a girl downloaded the beautiful Palace Luna from Arda Sims, then she went on the hunt to find the LunaSims CC that it required. She found it, but little she knew that part of it was broken and that it would cause a lot of lag in her game...

Sooo... what was causing the lag was that the walls pictured above had all the four recolourable channels enabled, when in fact the mask had only one! I fixed it with Texture Tweaker and no more lag!

Since I thought that it might be useful to someone else, here it is for download.
