Stratogos Legacy 7.1
Personally, I'm kind of impressed that I've kept up with the posting as thoroughly as I have. Normally I slack off like "Mlah, I'll get to it, mlah."
Warning: Language, some sexuality, gays, neurotic cats, and ego that you could slice and sell for bacon.
Soooo I think we left of somewhere like here? Yes? I'm going to go with yes.
Othello was declared heir, and he and his babydaddy Armando between them popped out five kids, two sets of which were twins. Here is the second set. Lydia and Bingley.
Bingley is an attention whore.
But he is adorable so I forgive him.
Meanwhile, the other three have grown into kidhood. Elizabeth apparently likes to pretend to kill her big brother Darcy, idk.
Darcy's twin brother, Bennet, is cute.
I'M SORRY I JUST REALLY LIKE DARCY OKAY.
If he'd been born with elf ears I would be biased so hard you have no idea.
As an aside, Othello is made of epic win.
Okay, so the second set of twins grew up, which for some reason I don't have a picture of. Just pretend there's an image here of two kids exploding, okay? Okay.
Kid!Lydia is pretty.
Kid!Bingley is... pretty much a double of Othello with all of Armando's genetic colouring. (His hobby is nature, which is why he is constantly in front of the fishtank.)
Around this time, Oni and Plaga have kittens. A male and a female, named Pooka and Kamaitachi, respectively.
HAI, NO MOAR NOTIFICATIONS. THX.
I haven't the faintest idea why, but Bing is actually devoted to Bennet. He follows him around all the time, trying to get him to play with him.
I don't know why I took this, other than that I think Bing is cute, and also cowplant.
Boring!Children.
The kids really, really love their grandmother for some reason. Every morning Darcy goes into Franziska's room and just stands there talking to her until I force him to get ready for school. They're like BFFs because of it.
...Uh?
Ohhhhhh.
Goodbye, Chessie. Your genes seem to have been laced with evil, but you gave me Luka, so I thank you for that.
Bing: NOOOO, GREAT GRANDMA WHO I'M NOT ACTUALLY RELATED TO!!
Dragon: WHO'S GOING TO GIVE ME NOOKIE NOW?
I don't think you'll have a problem with that, Dragon.
Gawd, NONE of you are actually related to Chessie, you know.
Bennet: *IS OTHERWISE PREOCCUPIED*
~
Anyway, life goes on, and the death of his wife does not in any way soften ol' Dragon, who still insists upon arguing with everyone in the house.
Looking back on this picture now, I really should have seen the signs. They were all there.
Lizzie: DADDY I LOVE YOOOOU
Armando: I MADE MONEYYYY
Boring kids are still boring.
Darcy's hobby is music. Seeing him there with his little violin makes me all squibbly. <3
Also, check out who the kids are always bringing home.
See this little dude? This is Vincent. He's Asher's little brother!
And this is Sabria, Faun and Jericho's second daughter.
(As a side note, that picture of Faun and Jericho is one of my favorite images of all time. Just sayin'.)
The neighbors are getting suspicious about how their loved ones never seem to come back after walking past the Stratogos house.
Jesus CHRIST, Remy. Aren't you bright enough to learn from bitter experience?
I can't fathom why Fernando is willing to spare that kind of stupidity. Maybe he realizes that if he were to eat her, both Dragon and Franziska would stone-cold cut a bitch.
Every now and again, Dragon just looks at me and smiles. It's like he's trying to remind me that I love him, or something.
Crusty old Dragon is old and crusty.
Since kidhood is basically a montage of guest appearances, we're skipping ahead to Lizzie and the twins' birthdays!
Teen Bennet.
Rolled Romance with the LTW to become a Rock God. Likes athletes who wear makeup, but not all over their faces.
Teen Darcy (NOM NOM NOM)
Rolled Popularity with the LTW to become Captain Lube Hero. Likes clean people who wear glasses, but hates full face makeup.
And teen Lizzie, who I actually find shockingly sexy.
Rolled Popularity also, with the LTW to become the Law (SWEET, never tried that one). Likes logical people who wear cologne, hates mechanics.
Also, she's loving insane.
Her undies are much win. Do want.
Bennet: *calmly plays with Pooka*
Lizzie: I'M GONNA EAT YEW!
Well, thank you, Lizzie. You've given the kitten a neurosis.
Lizzie: WELCOME.
These two have fallen into a habit of whenever Armando gets home from work, they make straight for the bedroom. I am not opposed to this provided they don't knock each other up again.
This? I am also not opposed to.
Why do I find this picture so hilarious?
Lizzie: JESUS CHRIST, WHY DOES THE BATHROOM SMELL LIKE WET DOG? ...Oh! Hai, Grandma.
Indeed.
~*~
Lizzie's new favorite thing is to go around bragging to all her relatives. It would be annoying if only I wasn't so amused by everyone going "GEE YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU ARE AWESOME!"
Lizzie: OMG NO, YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR COOL ENOUGH TO BE IN MY PRESENCE. BEGONE, PEASANT.
Darcy: ...D:
Bing: HELLO BIG BROTHER AND SISTER, GETTING ALONG AS USUAL I SEE :D :D
Lizzie: Plaga, you are my best friend. I won't try to eat you like I did your kitten.
Plaga: Oh, take the little bastard. He sleeps on my cushion.
You are such a girl, Bennet. I am sure your little sister doesn't care what you write in your diary.
And for some reason, Bing still idolizes you?
Lizzie, on the other hand, idolizes Franziska. She is always going around "Admiring" her.
Helloooooo. Liz brings this home on the bus one day. I don't remember his name. I always just label him "bf" like "boyfriend". Bf? Biff? Yeah, I'm going to go with Biff.
Lizzie: DAMN I HAVE AWESOME TASTE
I so did not know that Sims could autonomously "Bust a Move" for other Sims.
Biff: She liked it! I am so awesome.
Lizzie: He's trying to impress me! I am so awesome.
Lizzie: TAKE ME, BIFF. *sucks his face off*
Am I surprised that she's the one that initiated this? Not in the slightest.
Well, she's certainly... aggressive.
And Lizzie follows in her great-great-grandma Asia's footsteps of becoming an XXXtreme teenaged slut.
Lizzie and Biff: *are cute*
Bennet: HELLO LITTLE SISTER HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I WATCH
Lizzie is made of epic win. Trufax.
Where's the fire, Dragon?
...Ah. Remy's walking by the house. Of course you should go save her from the plant try to get in her knickers ask her to punch you.
Bennet: HELLO GRANDMA, SNOGGING YOUR GIRLFRIEND I SEE. DON'T MIND ME, JUST TAKING OUT THE TRASH AT 3 IN THE MORNING.
Voyeur much?
Bennet: Hang out with me, dearest twin?
Darcy: You're a little bit creepy, aren't you? :D
My love for Darcy has not died. It hasn't even diminished slightly.
...
OH WHAT.
Dragon: O SHIT IT'S YOU?
Darcy: LA LA LA LA IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY
Dragon: B-but Remy's coming over tonight! I have to try and get with her before my daughter does!
Darcy: BIRDS ARE SINGING, BEES ARE BUZZING. YES A BEAUTIFUL DAY
Grims: Your wife wants you.
Dragon: OH WELL THEN.
Dragon: Goodbye, Darcy! Tell everyone I love them! I'm leaving Friska my collection of sex toys!
Darcy: I SURE DO LOVE SANDWICHES.
Darcy: ...Wait. What?
Lizzie: lol bai great-gramps :D
...You have no soul.
Othello had brought Phoenix home from work again. She was the only one who actually seemed sort of upset about her brother's death.
Oh Dragon. I love you and I miss you. <3
Bennet: SCORE
*~*
Marrying Armando into this family was the best thing I could ever have done. <333 EPIC WIN BB.
The kittens explode into adulthood! This one is Pooka. He and Kamaitachi are almost identical except for the fact that Pooka has Plaga's skinny tail and Oni's one white ear.
At last, it is Twins Set 2's birthday! I am sensing some favoritism here.
Neglected Lydia doesn't need an audience to grow up.
Teen Bing is still an Othello lookalike. He even has his nose.
Rolled Fortune with the LTW of becoming Hand of Poseidon. Likes brunettes in formal wear, hates jewellry.
Teen Lydia is adorably funky-looking.
Rolled Romance with the LTW of becoming a Hall of Famer. Likes cologne-soaked people with black hair, hates athletes. (Hypocrite.)
I just really liked the idea of them all chillaxing together.
Lizzie: How about we agree on this? You guys back out of the heir race, and I won't kill the lot of you with a tennis racket.
Othello: My kids are so adorable!
Aaaaand apparently nothing has changed on this front.
Bennet: I wonder when Grandma Friska is going to die so she'll leave us money? :D
Lizzie: IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME
Lizzie and Biff still is lurve.
Ohohohoh or is it?
Lizzie: DEAD BOY IS PRETTY FOXY TOO
Lizzie: Have you heard how spectacular I am?
Well, at least that was short-lived.
Lydia is much cute. <3
Because I love them more than cake, I didn't send this lot off to college right away. Instead they spent another three days at home, and spent Saturday down at the bowling alley.
Bing: AM I DOIN IT RITE, BENNET? AM I? AM I? 8D
This is here solely for my own joy. They are my favorites.
I lost track of Darcy halfway through the bowling excursion. I found him checking himself out in the bathroom mirror.
I LOVE YOU.
Kamaitachi moves out. Neurotic Pooka tries to swallow the world gains kitty heirdom!
Okay, I really have put this off long enough. College times!!
*~*
I randomized gender preferences when we hit college, so you'll see that mentioned, too.
Here's YA Bennet. Straight.
YA Bing, who is still Othello in different colours, but I adore, for some reason. Bisexual. (And this is when I realized I should have seen it coming.)
YA Lydia. Straight.
YA Darcy. Straight. (ZOMFG. I WOULD HIT THAT IN A HOT MINUTE.)
YA Lizzie. Bisexual. (I WOULD ALSO HIT THAT. LIKE THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD.*)
And right now I have to take this opportunity to gape at all my pretty dormies. (Thank you, replacement face templates!)
Hot dormie #1!
Hot dormie #2! If he didn't have almost all the same colouring as Armando, he would be our next heir-spouse, guaranteed.
Dormie: Shit, I love college.
I'd love college too if I lived at that dorm. Yes, Darcy gets to go shirtless, because SimGoddesses deserve eyecandy too.
I am very intrigued by her genetics. And also the fact that the game named a fair-skinned, fair-haired, fair-eyed Sim "Raven".
Hot dormie #4.
Hot ELF dormie. Now if only she wasn't a dark-skinned redhead.
....AUUUUUUGH WHAT THE FUCK
I completely forgot that I put in the hack to unlock the alien facial template for townies. That is creepy as fuck, thx.
Lizzie: Enough ogling the potentials, SimGoddess! Get me out there to meet some mens and ladytypes!
Zombie Dormie: Hello thar.
Lizzie: HOO DAMN YOU ARE FOINE
ZD: THX SO ARE YOU
Meanwhile Bing scopes the scene.
You are so adorable.
...And then he skips to class.
Chef: Shit, I love college.
The boys are adorable.
That is all.
...Why are you all clusterfucked in Lydia's room? I can't even fit a double bed in these dorm rooms. You are all retarded.
ZD: I... I think you're really sexy :D :D
Lizzie: NOWAI!! I think I'm really sexy! We have so much in common!
Chef: ...so even if you don't get picked for the heirdom, don't you see? You can do whatever you want!
Lydia: You're... you're so right, Chef! Screw the heirdom! As of now I will pursue my lifelong dream... of serving undercooked macaroni to college students!
Chef: ...I'm... glad I could help?
Meanwhile, Lizzie really likes this zombie dormie, whose name I obviously forgot. They have two bolts.
Darcy tries his luck with that Raven chick, only to discover that she is OBVIOUSLY BLIND.
Lizzie is more skilled in her powers of seduction.
I would just like to reiterate that my dorm is filled with pretty.
If you don't count Fucking McCreepyspook on the right, I mean.
And now for some Liz spam.
...Yep. She's a Stratogos.
*~*
So guys, who do you think should be this generation's heir?
I willingly admit that I have a fondness for Darcy and Lizzie, and I wouldn't mind heiring with either of them. They both have LTW's I've been wanting to try, and Lizzie has the elf ears.
Bennet is pretty, but he stopped being awesome after his kidhood, and is now boring.
Lydia has pretty much always been boring.
And Bing, while I love him, is pretty much an Othello of a different colour.
So, input appreciated, if you have any!
Next Time: Moar college!
