Possible occult hint?

This is possibly/probably a reach, but I saw this ad on my homepage for a new year sale, didn't think much of it at first but then I noticed all the sims were references of occults or occult packs. First lady is Realm of Magic, second two are from the Vampires cover art and the last sim is from the Island Living cover (mermaids) and then it talks about "new year, new yous" with the occults pictured. Possibly hinting at a new occult coming in the new year?

Plus, I've seen people theorising that when this sale ends (Jan 12th?) they'll announce the next pack, so it'd make sense to hint at it in the ads for the sale, and Vampires was announced January 10th just after the Christmas/New Year sale...

    I mean, for me, my frustration with the Tinkerbelle model is that the Victorians basically "nerfed" faeries to make them more palatable "For the Children" and now that's what most people assume is the default of "how they've always been" when that's certainly not the case. I've actually had people suggest that I'm trying to be "edgy" by "making" them dark, when I'm just acknowledging their true origins.

    But I also don't mind if pixies are one kind of fae and when I use the term "Pretty Pixies" I'm literally just describing them. What most people think of when they think Fae are pretty little things with wings, sometimes associated with mild pranks and gardens. I could call it the Thumbelina model just as easily. When I say "True Fae" I don't mean to say that Pixies aren't "real" faeries. I just mean that the modern vision of Faerie being limited to Pixies doesn't represent the actual breadth of what Faerie really is, and knowing the variety that is out there (especially when extended to beings that serve the same narrative purpose as Faeries in non-Celtic folklore) I can't help but dream of more options.


    Tinkerbelle isn't a "nerfed" version of fairies, They're just pixies and pixies are a species of faeries. Although I understand what you mean, I just think Pixies always had this kind image since like ever unlike changelings, gnomes and such.
  • I want fae. :(
    I want sprites/bees, pixies/dragonflies, faeiries/butterflies, mayflies (headwings & footwings), and mothies. And, to be able to mix them with hybridized looks, such as smaller pixie wings, or a combination of pixie and mayfly wings (my favorite!)!
    I want to play a gecko ("alien" with a gecko face showing above the personality in CAS, and with gecko eye variations) mixed with cat spellcaster, mayfly, large-back-winged pixie, and sprite for speed without making the wings smaller, so they're extra strong to carry a couple of other people around while flying.
