The Hathaway Legacy 1.3
Last Time on the Hathaways: Quincy was born and eventually became a child; Eleanor became a child, then a teenager; Gregory became a child. Also, they got a television.
Quincy's new party animal trait really just means that he dances awkwardly (but cutely!) by himself a lot.
Gregory: This television is great! I approve.
Zhang: I told you all.
Gotta party hard. Even when your sister's trying to read behind you.
Zhang's midlife crisis and this mirror in the kids' bathroom means that Zhang spends every waking moment Checking Out Wrinkles.
Eleanor: Hey Gregory. Isn't it great that with this new money, we got a television? Wouldn't it be great if we had even more money?
Gregory: Everything you say is correct.
Quincy: I bow to you, your highness, and come with a question before your greatness, King Older Brother.
Gregory: Yes, peasant?
Quincy: Under your rule, may I dance to the loudest music whenever I wish?
Gregory: No. That's annoying.
Clearly upset by his brother's unjust rule, Quincy goes for a joyride and plots a revolution.
Gregory: In my kingdom, we will eat only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is law.
Quincy: Ooh, have to watch out for the baby ducks!
Quincy: Father! Let me sing you a song!
Eleanor: No, let me!
Zhang: You were both great. Bravo, bravo.
But Gregory wins this attention-getting competition by growing up.
Zhang: Our resemblance is frightening.
Gregory gained Commitment Issues, making him a good and perspective sim who is easily impressed and has comittment issues. I like his traits. And his face.
Zhang: You didn't have to cook that, you know. We had leftovers.
Sisko: Shut up, Zhang.
Zhang: The resemblance is still frightening.
Gregory: Dad, we don't even look that much alike.
Much like his older brother, Quincy appears to have an intense passion for cleaning.
Eleanor: Cats!
Quincy: No!
Gregory: Just ignore her. That's what I do.
Eleanor
Eleanor you have your own bed
there is no reason why you're reading on Gregory's bed
so please stop that
Gregory: STUPID QUINCY WITH HIS STUPID COUNTRY MUSIC WHILE I'M TRYING TO SLEEP. I HATE THIS STEREO. I HATE THIS WORLD.
I feel bad because this is all the children do: read and watch television.
Zhang: Why don't you like tri-tip steak? Why is that not your favorite food? It should be, damn it!
Eleanor: Why...why are you yelling at me over food?
Zhang's hotheaded trait finally rears its head and it is not pretty.
Gregory: You know, I'm glad there's nobody on this island but us. Love sucks. I don't need it! Broken hearts delight me. How about you, Dad?
Zhang: Everything about you continues to concern me deeply.
Collecting a rock: the Hathaway rite of passage.
Still cleaning. Get some friends.
Still dancing. Get some friends.
Sisko: I think I know where Zhang's coming from. I feel like I'm looking in a mirror that makes me younger.
Seriously though.
Eleanor: Remember when were kids and we had the great idea to move off this island? I still want that.
Gregory: When you have the funds to finance that, let me know. In the meantime I will be sitting here enjoying having to do nothing but watch TV all day.
Gregory: Dad, stop it. You're old. Shit happens. Step away from the mirror.
Zhang: I thought you were supposed to be a good sim.
Gregory: Obsessing over your appearance isn't good for you.
Gregory: Yeah this is gonna be sweet.
It's a family tradition by now. Right up there with the rocks.
The fact that he slid down the stairs just to use the toilet makes me laugh.
Gregory: I need to lay off the drugs.
He got stuck like that. Had to reset him. Good job Gregory.
Zhang: My children are too well-behaved. I am skeptical.
Eleanor: Mom, can you help me out here?
Sisko: No. No I cannot.
Gregory continues to have a love affair with shoving himself through walls.
Gregory: Come on guys. Paranormal Activity isn't even that scary. Oh no, a door moved! Wow.
Eleanor: We live on an island by ourselves...everything is scary.
Gregory: Quincy, let me show you how a real man sing about love.
Quincy: Stupid fire crotch doesn't know anything about love.
Gregory has worked himself up to combining with other sims, not just walls.
Also showers.
But really he was just playing tag with Quincy, who kicked his ass.
Quincy: Why does Dad always yell at us over really stupid things?
Way to break the fourth wall, babe.
Quincy joins in on the family fun.
Gregory: I think we can all agree, however, that Paranormal Activity 3 is some scary shit.
Zhang's face is eternally concerned and I love it. Age did not treat him kindly.
Gregory: I believe I'm too fabulous for these peons.
I can sum this update up in one sentence: kids slide down stairs and watch television.
Gregory: Since Dad got his dream-TV, I think we should get dream-computers. Opinions, Eleanor?
Eleanor: Shhh. Television.
Zhang: That thought concerns me deeply.
Eleanor contemplates her surroundings and decides that the lighting in the downstairs bathroom is superior to the lighting in the upstairs bathroom.
Eleanor isn't above the stair sliding, don't worry.
Gregory: Fuck yeah. My turn.
Gregory: I wonder how much this little thing's gonna be worth. I bet bundles.
About $200, so not bad.
Quincy: Your delightful at the broken hearts of others disgusts me, big bro!
Gregory: Shh. The two fuckheads just broke up on this romantic drama.
Quincy: DISGUST.
Sisko: I forgot how good of a cook my husband is. Maybe I should pay attention to him.
Sisko still exists, I swear, but she spends all of her time painting so she can both provide for her family and work on her LTW.
whyyyyyy
Eleanor: Cats!
Gregory: When are you going to learn that nobody cares about cats?
In other news, don't you just want to pinch his cheeks?
Zhang: You kids spend too much time watching television!
Eleanor: Says the man who spends all of his time watching television. Also, when you find another alternative, let me know.
Quincy bb
Cooking is very serious.
Next Time on the Hathaways: More television and teenage antics. Also probably a heir poll.
