Welcome back to the Faunas! I apologize HUGELY for not updating for a month >_<;;; Life has been pretty crazy here with my best friend moving out, us trying to replace the furniture that was hers, another best friends marriage breaking up, my health going completely down the plughole - not to mention the fact that its wedding and birthday season so in between bouts of being completely miserable I've had to be SUPER HAPPY which is exhausting to say the least. GAWDS SPRING! Why you gotta be so brutal!?
But I'm hoping against hope to sew up my round this week so I can pass on this wonderful family to the next avidly waiting participant. ^_^
What happened when we last left off? I went crazy with all the route failure and house overstuffing; we replaed Bella Swan's Truck with a jet propelled sports car; Chameleon lost a dance contest to her Aunt Celeste Nelson ( niloublue ), who in turn lost to Zebra (kingmike1224) fighting for her family's honour; Manitee communed with ants; Zebra forayed into an ~ALTERNATE UNIVERSE~ and got super busy in the bedroom; but in reality: SHE DONE GOT OLD.
And the ONLY way to celebrate becoming old: getting busy with your at-the-moment toy boy husband! :D
Chameleon celebrates by changing her hair again. I didn't want to go back to her normal colour just yet as I'd PROMISED jenji_sims to give her custom/multicoloured hair. Well, she doesn't HATE it this time, but its a kind of lacklustre response at any rate...
And while we were at the make-over giving game... I gave Zebra a less maxis-match new 'do, and a classier, sexier new old-lady wardrobe. Looking a lot more foxier, neh? :D
~FORESHADOWING~
No, she doesn't turn into a fox. Though that'd be cool. And familially thematic.
Man, I'm kind of sad its not THAT kind of foreshadowing now.
*loves me some kitsune*
LOOK YOU GUYS! I didn't miss Pangolin's birthday this time!
Are you proud of me?!
Are you?
Are you!?!?
Which also means its Moose's Birthday. Apparently it doesn't mean its Squid's, even though they're triplets. Darn floor sleeping babies >_>;;; ANYWAY! GO GO BIRTHDAY KIDS!
YEAH PANGOLIN! GO YOU BIG RED PINK FIREENGINE.
He's kinda looking rather feminine, yeah?
Which is interesting as Moose is looking kind of masculine.. *laughs* GENDER SWITCH AT BIRTH!? Its the sims: IT COULD HAPPEN!
Chameleon: Yes yes, very shocking. Clearly. *reads her stories*
I realised Chameleon's new hair was the same style as Moose's, so Chameleon got her wish and I re-brunette'd her face. You may not realise it from this passive culinary enthusiasm gain that's going on, but she was quite excited.
Kind of... Antiques Roadshow you're very very british and just found out you had a seven thousand pound bracelet you hated sitting in your cupboard so now you love it kind of excited. But excited, nonetheless.
Finally, its ALL your day, SQUID! :D
Squid's day is the most serious and sombre of all the days.
But OooOh! Squid is looking more and more like a perfect blend of parents the older he gets. :D Pity he's not in heir-contention as he's one of the sweetest little boys I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
Whoa, apparently this update is a near-never-ending birthday bonanza. Who's hoping that Manitee's bid for pretty continues?
Me: *raises hand*
Small-Part-Of-Me: *tries to hold hand back to ensure Chameleon's heirdom*
Other-Parts-Of-Me: FOR SHAME, SMALL PARTS!
WOOO! She's looking DAMN good!
And with a little makeup I think she could look damn gooder!
How much gooder?
MAJOR AIR GOOD-ER!
(Man, Moose got massively merry and mammothly over the moon about Manitee's ... Mmm... Muh.. Maa... MMMbirthday.. Dammit I was going so well with alliteration then!)
Liam (niloublue): Just don't grow up to be promiscuous like your mother... *fatherly distress*
~MORE FORESHADOWING~
He's got good reason to worry, however. She rolled Romance/Knowledge. But what he DOESN'T know, is that she's got a thing for female wiccan athletes. Its a pretty specific subsection of society to have going as your type. Its like an in-built daddy-reassurant.
GOOD BREEDING, LIAM! :D
Okay so THIS excites me greatly, but it also feels SO WRONG. Congratulations on reaching your lifetime goal of doing NOTHING!? Or something?
Pangolin? What the heck are you wearing to school?
Pangolin: I DON'T EVEN KNOW!
Are these shoes majorly ridiculous, or super cute and should be appropriated for more kids outfits? I JUST CAN'T TELL!
You know what I can tell though? That Melousine Magicakes is SUPER FREAKEN ADORABLE! Oh, Melousine! My darling little love! <33333
So cute she exudes it even when uncomfortably perturbed!
Chameleon: Were we listing cute things? *suddenly appears on such a list*
Meanwhile, in a kitchen in the room next door...
Noodle: I suppose that SHALL accept your meagre offering... Minion.
Pangolin: I hope these tender plate juices shall please you, oh great one.
Noodle: I shall judge them and you in good time, serf. Now begone! I must establish if this plate juice you present has a flavour...
I catch Liam and Zebra doing this often; daydreaming in one of their kids' rooms thinking about their children. I vacillate between thinking that this is sickeningly sweet, and screaming 'CUT THE COARD ALREADY!" at them... Sometimes I settle on both. Simultaneously.
Speaking of their kids: here's a comparitive look at their youngest.
Moose is most definitely of Zebra's 'Fauna' line, Pangolin, though not a clone, REEKS of his father and Squid, though tending more to his mother's side than I initially thought is most definitely the most blended of the three...
Squid & Pangolin: Do you mind? We're trying to watch what seems to be a rather interesting extra-terrestrial life form...
Moose: *eyerolls* Only puppets you know? For children.
Squid: We ARE children. MY WORD! Did one of them just swear?
If you know what the hell they are talking about, and there's THREE refrences here: I WILL GIVE YOU MANY INTARWEB COOKIES!!!
And then Squid rolled this. He's like, five. Look at his child progress bar. Maybe what, seven? At the most? But I humoured him, since he's CLEARLY ahead for his age.
Sage words, tiny child.
*blinks many MANY times* There was no fire, there's no thunder or lightning?
*panics*
NUUUUUU!! ALAS POOR NOODLE! You overlorded well *weeps*
Manitee: Ah. Rubix Sphere, Winston you are not, but you shall listen to all my secrets, wont you? And keep them safe and warm in your impossible plastic shapes?
Um. I think Manitee needs to get out more...
Except when I sent her out, she ran into these terrifyingly matching maître d's...
You think they're purpose-hired twins? Or some kind of terrifying black and white minstrel joke gone wrong?
Either way Manitee basically got smashed and went home to celebrate her Mum's belated birthday party that I threw in honour of ALL their birthdays.
Except perhaps I should've let her party on instead... Whilst I was tending to Liam's needs and letting sim autonomy do its thing, Zebra decided it was TOTALLY APPROPRIATE to make out with Icarus Rose-McGee ( quellasims ).
Sim Autonomy: Overrated.
Evidently, Icarus enjoys his Cougar-meat tenderized.
My heart just BROKE for Liam and the kids during this ;_; You can see his gut reaction to slap some sense into her, but he realises its OH so very wrong mid-swing. Pangolin is just mortified and utterly distressed so takes off upstairs.
Liam: Yeah, that'll learn her. Job well done! *sadist's delight*
Okay that kind of horrified me too, and it CLEARLY horrified Manitee as she took off after Pangolin and neither of them spared the horses.
Zebra: Oh my! I'm seeing stars..!
Liam: I'll see YOUR star.
AUGH! Liam's relationship level. Down from 100/100 with his wife to THIS in one fell Icarus-flavoured lip-smacking. ;_;
Oh squid, my sweet, sweet...
...Clairvoyant little boy.
Clearly he knew his mother's nature and rolled that counselling want with purpose. ;_;
IS IT, game timer!? >_>;;;
I'm not sure he would agree with you.
Uh.. Something tells me that Squid's attempt at reconciliation may take a while...
Yet-Unreleased-Sim-By-Me: I got ma beer, where's ma pretzels? This game is gonna be gooooooood! *toe wiggle*
Zebra: YEAH. Greatest party ever..! *punch-drunk sarcasm*
After MANY attempts, Squid managed to send them off to 'the small room.'
Where there was a show of lust, at the very least, amongst the leaves.
Squid: WHO DA MAN?! I'M DA MAN!
Yeah, don't count your allergy-rich poultry yet, young cephalopodic friend.
Icarus: Yeah, I'm still in with a chance. *munches pretzels*
Ugh! Don't ever let anyone say parental actions have no effect on the kids, no matter WHAT their age. I'm pretty sure this was the first time Manitee had even SEEN Icarus, and she had a really strong relationship with her Mum before this party.
Apparently though, Liam took no time in wanting to move on, and move on FAR from Zebra.
These were the only interactions available on his pie menu when you clicked on his wife...
So I got the impression that when ACR took over in some moments... It was really just a show for the kids.
Meanwhile...
Pangolin has turned to childhood self loathing to cope. ;_;
