The Lilac Legacy 1.6
Caution: Language, adult themes, derpiness.
Last time on the Lilac Legacy: Lavender wrote terrible things about her elderly neighbor for an article in a teenage girl magazine, Alain was gorgeous and perfect, Plum aged up into a painfully adorable toddler, Lav and Alain mixed up baby number three, Violet became a beautiful but dramatic teenager, baby number three came into this world in the shape of Amethyst Lilac, and Plum popped into a child.
Speaking of Plum child!
Plum: Dad, dad hey! Hey dad! And then Cyan was all like "Bleh bleh, boys are gross, I don't want to play Truth or Dare with you!" Girls are dumb!
Alain: Well son, not all girls are dumb. Just look at your mother, she's a girl and we love her, don't we?
Later that evening.
Plum: Mum's a girl?
Speaking of girls, Lavender was having serious second thoughts about bringing a third squalling child into the world.
Lavender: For the love of shoes, it wont stop crying. Why did I agree to a this? I'm going to have early gray hair, I just know it.
You're not fooling me, you big softy. I think Lavender is really attatched to Amethyst, maybe because she's the youngest.
And Alain is really taking having a boy seriously. He makes sure to keep tabs on the little man.
Alain:And then one time I had to fight off a bear, with my bare hands! And his eyes shot lasers and he was trying to eat your sister!
Plum: My dad is the best!
In honor of his recent birthday, Alain bought his son a painting eisel. I think he's still a little sad he didn't ask for a football or a raw steak, but he could still paint manly things!
Plum: Think... manly...
Oh yes, a pink house covered in glitter is definitely very masculine. Well done!
During dinner, dressed in her underwear, Violet was having trouble with pre-calculus.
Violet: Damn it, why did I spend the entire period flirting with that hot Asian guy instead of asking for help in math.
Lavender: That's vaguely racist, honey. And neglecting your studies to talk to boys is not good. Boys aren't going to get you into a good college.
Violet: I know mum... he's just really cute. And rich.
Lavender: Ah well, that's okay then.
Parenting 101 according to Lavender Lilac, folks.
Alain: Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars! Let me see what's spring is like on jupiter and marrrrs!
Fox: Alain, what are you doing?
Alain: Taking a bath. At 2AM. In the dark. Singing. What?
Honestly, he did this all on his own. I think he just wanted to have some 'me time'. And in this household that's about what you'd have to do to get some.
The next morning if was off to high school with Violet.
And off to grade school with Plum.
Plum: The bus driver keeps staring at you.
Violet: I'm used to it.
As modest as her mum.
And birthday time for baby Amethyst! I know you guys like the baby caccoons but it's toddler time!
Lavender:I use my magical powers to turn you into a toddler! Hopefully this is the last one, if my hips get any wider from child birth, I'll put Shakira out of business.
Alain: The last child... sleeping a full eight hours... having naughty snuggles without babies bawling in the background. It's so... beautiful...
Amethyst: *sparkle merp*
Let the spam commence!
So... adorable... so painful...
I am so excited that she looks almost exactly like Alain. She has his eye color, his skintone, his lips, and his freckles. I just love her to bits!
Plum: Ugh, she keeps crying and following me around.
Plum: Fiiine. Where's your brother? Where did Plum go Amey?
Amethyst: ^_^?
Plum: Here I am!
Amethyst: *giggle*
I wondered what Lavender was up to, so I took a peek in the study.
Lavender: Book deadline, can't talk.
How about you Alain?
Alain: Stupid razzle frazzle confounded dishwasher...
Life was getting pretty busy so Alain and Lavender decided to go to the beach and relax on their Friday evening.
Alain: I know you've been balancing your writing career with rearing three children. I wish I could be around more. You look so beautiful in this light, Lavender Lilac. I love you.
Lavender: Somebody's really laying on the charm. But seriously, you are so sweet. Let's have some fun and relax.
Which they got to almost instantly. This is how rabbits the Lilacs relax. By tongue wrestling in front of happily picnic-ing families.
Lavender: It's just like college again! Woo hoo, who wants a mojito?
Alain: Oh! I do! I love mexican food!
Dear, sweet Alain.
The couple took a moment to relax and unwind. I just love this shot. Lav looks so at peace and beautiful in the twilight.
Until this guy showed up.
Pervy Grandpa: Would you like to sample one of my delicious sausages, beautiful lady?
Lavender: Ew.
Alain: I still don't think he was offering you his dinner... if he wasn't old enough to be my dad I would knock his block off.
Lavender wisely chose to share a picnic with the love of her life instead. I think they both had a lovely evening away from the chaos that is the Lilac home.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch.
Amethyst: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Violet: Did you hear something?
Plum: BOOM HEADSHOT!
Good lord, who left Violet in charge of an infant?
Lavender: Here we are honey, mummy's home now. Don't look at me like that, Alain said he called a sitter.
Fox: Yes well, Alain also thinks you set frogs free after you dissect them in school.
Lavender:I hope you're more mature than your sister, Plum. When I got home Amey was one second away from breaking out of her crib and baby-rampaging.
Plum: That's nice mum, but do you know the Capital of Russia?
Plum: Mum?
Lavender: Geography? I'm out of here. Sorry kiddo.
Neither of the Lilac Generation 1 founders are very fond of logic.
The next morning, before Alain left for work, he finally noticed the house had a fireplace. After almost a year.
Alain:I bet this was awfully expensive. I bet we could save a lot of money if we just used this instead of lights.
He started the fireplace and went to work. Isn't it lovely?
You've got to be kidding me. Six updates without a fire, and now this? ALAIN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU AND YOUR FRUGAL SELF.
Plum: MUM, MUM, MUM FIRE, OMG A FIRE, MUM
Lavender: PLUM, I SEE IT, CALM YOURSELF.
Lavender: Just wait until your father gets home...
Alain: Crap.
He quickly installed an alarm, before Lavender could lecture him on how he put their entire family in danger just to save a few Simoleans.
Violet: Holy buckets, I am SO HUNGRY.
In the other room, Violet was making some delicious waffles.
Or... not.
I am not even kidding.This happened BACK TO BACK and prior to this, I had never had a fire. Thank you, Sims 3. Thank you.
Fireman: So... do I just move in now?
What? How? PUT THAT BABY DOWN AND GO HOME!
Later that day was Plum's sixteenth birthday! In honor of the party, I gave the parents a bit of a make-over.
Lavender: Ugh. I guess I have to look like a working mother of three, but at least I'm still a QT.
Alain: The glasses are a nice touch. Now I REALLY feel old.
Fox: But you look ADORBZ.
Plum: I hate to interrupt but IT'S MAH BIRTHDAY!
Violet: Woo hoo, now we can talk about teenage-y stuff instead of Power Rangers and Digimon!
Alain: My little boy... growing up... must not cry...
Rainbow Shirt Kid: I don't even know these people, but CAKE!
Plum: Aww yeah, I am working this!
Holy mother of goodness. GET IN THE CLOSET. NOW.
Thank you. That was terrifying. Everyone, meet teenage Plum!
Plum Lilac: [Randomly Generated]
-Heavy-sleeper
-Artistic
-Absent Minded
-Hopeless Romantic
Hopeless Romantic suited him so well! He's a quiet hottie who likes to spend his days painting and day dreaming about his future loves.
And we'll end this update with that uncomfortable "I'm like his mom, but DAMN he's fine" feeling. Weird.
Thank you for reading and supporting the Lilac Legacy. UNTIL NEXT TIME!
