so many good looks this time, I loved seeing everyone be inspired by each other!! freerice is one of my favorite website to spend time procrastinating on, and it's for a good cause, so that's great :) i also loved listening to everyone's musical artists they shared!! I'm a little later posting these new prompts but still before the reset, so we're good !

December 18-19th:

1. Make an outfit inspired by either one of your own fears (or childhood fears) or a common fear in general. Slay your phobias, babes ;) Shop screenshots are 100% okay for this, no matter your level!

2. Draw a specific plant/flower!! Using photo references is encouraged, and don’t be afraid to just trace the image outright (by printing it, tracing from a book, tracing with your mouse or a graphics tablet, etc). Don’t worry about the quality, just have fun and tell us one fun fact about the plant you drew.

3. Look through some lists of poetry forms and write a poem in the style of a poetry form you never heard of. If you’ve ever heard of this form or knowingly read a poem in this form, you can’t write it :) if English is not your native language, don’t be afraid to write in a language you’re more comfortable with—I don’t mind! Just try something new. Here’s an article talking about some essential poetry forms, and here’s a huge list of 168 poetry forms! If you’re having trouble picking, I love ghazals (medium difficulty), abecedarians (easy difficulty), aubades (easy difficulty), epistolary poems (easy difficulty), and pantoums (hard difficulty) <3 but whatever you pick is fine, as long as you haven’t heard of it before!

This set of prompts is due at midnight on December 20th, so right at the reset! If there are any particular types of prompts you're enjoying, please feel free to let me know so that I can try to do more of those :)

(full version with links in other tabs of my profile as well as my xeets) Hey all, this is your Minister of Fashion
Pollyx! I can be wordy, and am here, so here’s a TLDR for those who
trust me and just want to know the gist of it: Seriously, for real,
actually this time, cancel your Senatorships. Do not spend money on the
site. Remove the site’s access to your paypal. Do not volunteer for the
site or run for public office. This includes designing for the shop! Designers and prospective designers, I absolutely love you all to death, but this has got to stop.Anyway, the longer version:SweetasNuts,
the owner of this site, is an abusive person and known cheapskate who
refuses to hire new staff or adequately pay his existing staff in favor
of exploiting free labor from his users. Those who DO volunteer for him,
sometimes paying for the privilege of doing so, are treated
abhorrently, subjected to gaslighting and emotional abuse both publicly
and privately. I have personally experienced rampant mistreatment from
SweetasNuts (as have many others) as recently as today!If
you want an example, check any SweetasNuts thread and read it. I don’t
feel a need to drop a bunch of receipts below when it’s overwhelmingly
clear, but I hope those of you who know the love I’ve put into this site
will take me at my word. I have loved Ximboland and love it
still. At various points I have put more than full time hours into this
website and the shop in an attempt to make things better—usually
completely unpaid, as I did a lot of work before I became Minister of
Fashion. The saddest part, at the end of it, is that no matter how much I
work and how much love I put in the site will always get worse on
average or nosedive into oblivion (as we are seeing right now) due to
actions of trolls, hackers, or most primarily—Chris himself.There are numerous sources online which discuss Chris’s behavior as a business owner in-depth, both on this site and on its previous iteration, Miss Bimbo. It’s pretty clear the guy is a troll who likes when people get upset and throw a fit. In that sense, he may love this post!If
you’d like one recent example of someone bringing up issues to Chris,
being subjected to abuse, and being unable to sway Chris away from
terrible decisions, here’s one from a little over a year ago!
And yet nothing changes—the same cycles continue. New people join, they
see the community is lovely yet has a few flaws, perhaps some bad eggs
(rampant trolls), or maybe someone in the Pink House seems like they’re
abusing their power. They work really hard to rise up, join the
government, fight the “enemies” of the day, etc. and the whole thing
just causes chaos and misery for the most part and the site owner sits
back with popcorn.Oh wait, I forgot when Chris put numerous
ximbos (some who disagreed with him, others unprompted to my
understanding) on trial last year for having “bad fashion”! Here’s the trial for Melpomene, renowned designer, shop worker, and previous Antitheocra SM. Here’s the trial for KittyOnyx, who criticized Chris’s behavior. This one’s for Dean Winchester,
who made the grievous mistake of wearing a pink thong as a himbo.
Egregious, right! How dare a man dress in pink? Anyway, moving on.
Anyone care to share older “Chris is consistently a huge jerk to his
players and volunteers and never listens or fixes the site” examples
below?Now, when I talk about “volunteering” for the site
(aka what I am trying to convince you not to do), here are the positions
I mean:Partially paid (larger treasury cut, in theory, but extremely overworked):Prime XimboPartially paid (meager treasury cut —pennies on the hour):Minister of Fashion (gets meager treasury cut—pennies on the hour—so still a volunteer position)Minister of Entertainment (gets meager treasury cut—pennies on the hour—so still a volunteer position)Minister
of Foreign Affairs (gets meager treasury cut—pennies on the hour—so
still a volunteer position, plus you’re doing marketing for free. Not
super fun!)Minister of Justice (gets meager treasury cut—pennies on
the hour—so still a volunteer position, plus you’ll be absolutely
exhausted by the effort of moderation and part of the userbase will hate
you no matter what you do)No promise of payment/unpaid:Fashion Police (exhausting moderation work, now with kneecapped abilities to even stop abuse thanks to SAN)Fashion Worker (the people who upload items to the shop)Fashion
Designer (those who design for the shop—believe me, I have tried very
hard to convince SAN to reward this position in any way but was
unsuccessful)Not only unpaid, but PAYING to do this position:State
Minister (have to pay for Senatorship plus pay for all of the prizes
out of their own pocket—when you receive prizes from an SM, it’s because
they paid for them with real-world money)Please don’t do any
of this! I have been in the Pink House since October 2023 and am very
close with those who have been in or around the PH even longer or in
different time periods. Nothing changes. Talking to the site
owner doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter how you explain it, he won’t
listen and he doesn’t care because he continues to make enough passive
income to ignore people’s complaints. So what now?Well, first, let’s stop giving him that passive income, especially
given the recent major hacking incident has proven AGAIN that the site
is not secure. Chris is a liar—do not trust him when he says your
payment information is fully secure just because of Paypal, that is not
necessarily true. Remove your Paypal from XL (on the Paypal end) and
consider removing your bank accounts from Paypal for the time being,
better safe than sorry.When you spend money on this site, it
does not go to the people running it, to those who put in love and time
into moderation, the shop, contests, and even advertising the site. It
goes to Chris, who does not pay his staff properly and does not improve
the site. He only makes it worse based on his agenda. A small amount of
Senatorship goes to the government ministers, sure, but the amount is
not significant enough to matter (and there’s decent evidence that the
treasury doesn’t even reflect what it should be—⅓ of the cost of all
Senator subs). Besides, half of the treasury this term will go to
KatieBoutique (since she and her alt Slayyyocrates are both ministers),
and if any of you have been paying any attention to Katie that will
likely ruffle your feathers.It’s not worth contributing to
this place financially. It does not help the site grow. It does not go
to fixing bugs. It does not go to adding a mobile scroll bar. It does
not pay your favorite designer. It does not fix minigame glitches. It
likely won’t go to refunding people’s State Wars purchases after the
hack or restoring corrupted outfits (IF restoring them is even
possible). Cancel your Senatorship, never buy top-ups, don’t volunteer
your time for the site, and turn on ad block! Don’t let Chris get your ad revenue either!That’s
pretty much it. I do have some last thoughts if you’re interested, but
if you don’t care feel free to leave. It’s up to you to decide what to
do now. You can still help the site if you want to, but I strongly
believe it’s really only going to degrade, and as shown by the hacking
incident, this site really isn’t secure. It’s built on popsicle sticks.
You could lose all of this at any moment. Are all these users who lost
their outfits ever going to get them back? It’s really hard to say.Secondarily,
if you want to make a difference in the world there are a million
better places to do it than on XL. If you want to make art in a
community, lots of ways to do that too. Art Fight, a yearly event, is
great for this. You could make a game, write a novel, make outfits in
the Sims, join another dressup game (I hear some people here are making
one), generally touch grass. We should all touch grass. If it’s about
making the world a better place for you, maybe you could join a local
chapter of an organization that means something to you or donate what
you WOULD have spent on top-ups to a good cause. Join a rally, write an
op-ed, talk to people you love about what matters.If you want
to keep in touch with me, feel free to message anyone on XL you have on
Discord and they can probably connect us, I’ve got a lot of people
added.Alright, and now that we get to the end I just
want to shout out the users who have spent a lot of time showing love to
the users and uplifting the site as a whole. None of them asked for
this or even know that I’m doing this, so I won’t list them by name as
much as category. I may have individual personal issues with some people
on this site (not most), but I think this is kind of beyond that. We
are all victims of an exploitative site owner who constantly sets the
site up for interpersonal conflict because he finds it hot. He gets off on all these sexy bimbo avatars going at each other’s throats. So this is kind of an act of solidarity in that.Thank
you to all past and present government ministers, prime ximbos, state
ministers, fashion police, fashion designers, fashion workers, and
anyone else who has run contests or events.Thank you to the
active duelers staying up late into the night, the state generals and
citizens fighting for their state, those who help others get their
curious badge, those who leave comments on all the new players’
profiles, those who share gifs on weird gif wednesday, those who share
support when someone says they’re struggling or upvote posts in
Reputation Points Helper thread. Thank you, even, to those
I’ve fought with, those I’ve made up with, those I still dislike, those
who grate at my nerves. You’re part of the site, too, an ecosystem we
all exist in—this insular little community. Though of course I
will be leaving this community now, probably permanently. Not sure
about emigration yet—we’ll see. But I’ve got big things coming up soon
in my life and I can’t have this site’s nonsense messing with my groove.I’ve
loved growing as a person through my interactions with each of you and
I’ve loved designing and adding for the shop and running events and
making outfits and all of it, but I hate the way the site is run by
Chris (which is: generally not run at all, and if it is it’s done
maliciously). I hate receiving constant abuse from the site owner and
trolls and hackers and I hate seeing other people experience that too. I
hate that this site many of us feel is a second home has become so
foul, is rotting from the inside because of neglect and mistreatment
from the site owner. I had enough mold in my real life home last year,
as many of you know, and find myself uninterested in choking on the
spores here.Anyway, so much love, care about you all (except
in those few cases where the feeling of dislike is mutual, in which case
I say one last hearty “fuck you!”). Stay slutty, babes.

1: I have a fear of outer space and used to have nightmares about being stuck floating alone in space constantly lol



2. Decided to try something new and draw a Venus Fly Trap using just my laptop trackpad. I'm also trying to get better at cartoon styles. The results were... Not great lmao. 


3. I'd never heard of a "Awdl Gywydd" poem by name before! I've seen the style but never knew its origins, it's name or anything about it. :) It's Welsh and has four lines, seven syllables per line, the first syllable of the first and third line rhyme with the 3rd-5th syllable of the following lines, and the second and fourth lines rhyme. With that said here is a fun lil poem about seasonal depression lmao

"In winter's grasp, a chill takes hold
The shadows grow, a tale untold
A longing heart, in darkness weeps
As sunlight fades, the spirit sleeps"

one of my biggest fears is ants. every spring my house seems to get overrun with them and i think it's inflicted actual psychological trauma on me. when i get stressed, i have dreams of ants crawling all over me and no where i go is safe. when i see an ant in real life, i can't sit down for at least 20 minutes after because im so paranoid that there's more and they'll crawl on me if i sit. anyways this is a sexy dominatrix ant

I hope sharing this would help calm me in a way.

Sorry I can't dress him up even more as it's too scary for me to do more.

So, this is my real life phobia and experiences:

Stalkers and Gropers.

I had too many terrible experiences with such, especially in public places, so much so I am too scared to travel alone at all or be much active in social media anymore.

The worse was what happened years back before I was married and staying only by myself in my own home alone.

Someone broke into my home at night while I slept, forced himself on me and threatened me to do explicit things at his knife point or else I would be killed.

I had to save myself thus fight him off me and unfortunately had to shoot the person to stop his constant attacks as well as other attempts to do the terrible things to me.

Fortunately I only incapacitated him and I was not charged as guilty in court due to my lawyers proving that it was only self defense by me after that creep's multiple attempts at me.

After my hospital recovery due to the cuts and other injuries,I had to move back in with my RL parents as instructed by them.

Even till now, I do not dare to live alone or go to public places without being escorted.

I am not allowed to keep my Glock anymore but I was permitted with some convincing by my lawyers to still keep the bullet casings after my court cases as a memento to myself to be careful and appreciate my own life always.


I guess this is why, even during the bad times, I want to do my best to be happy and thankful.
 Too many times have Death and I smiled at each other face to face.

Draw a plant/flower: Tulip!
Tulip mania is generally considered the earliest recorded speculative bubble in history.

Unfamiliar poem format: I chose the seguidilla.
Hail pouring down from grey clouds
Chills me to the core
Fish the keys from my pocket
I open the door.
In my apartment
I hang my coat to dry off
And mop the parquet.
