Oh, this one hurts! (That's a good thing.) Where is Rich taking Little Gray Eyes? Lana's trying to pull a full-on Daytona here but it looks like Junior's trying, anyway. It's interesting that Mary's the only woman who ever wrongfoots Val; I don't know if it'd be a good or bad thing, for her to realize that. But is she having a boy or girl? And what did you name the babies?
Ah, yes, your questions all deliberately left unanswered for now but I will say that the babies do have names! Even baby boy, though Candy was in no condition to claim him just yet (so Rich beat her to it). And Mary is having twins, she just doesn't know it, so they all refer to "the baby", singular.
My initial idea, long before I even played the round, was to see Mary shift out of "Cinderelly" right into another fairy-tale...but the only song I know off-hand from Disney's Snow White is "Heigh-ho" so not much to work with there. Still, Lana's vanity is a real issue. If she actually knew about Mary and Val? I can't imagine. But I think intentional cruelty from Lana would be ultimately less effective than her current casual variety.
Mary gets too lost in Val's power to hurt her to notice her own influence, which is a very good thing for Junior.
I think, in the long run, it would be a good thing; but the way Mary is, if she ever realizes she has the power to hurt back it would terrify her into paralysis for a little while, at least. But she has begun to find her spine, anyway. Now if Junior will only locate his...the sooner he does, the less likely she is to give him up as a bad job

Watching The Mating Season (circa 1950 movie with Gene Tierney) that I've seen half a dozen times I've just noticed the main male character's name is Val while his rival is called Junior. Even if I hadn't seen it before it's easy to predict that Junior loses

He could very easily end up with Lana's eyebrows - my iteration did. Which means my Rich can't operate on the assumption (as some people's clearly do) that of course Candy's baby is his child, not his grandchild. So let's hope the gray eyes aren't contradicted by any other features, for baby's sake and Candy's
( ... )
Oh, those eyebrows! When Dixie and I were playing around with Lana's makeover, I quickly found out that it didn't make a bit of difference what brow options I clicked, that strip is what it is. And I get the feeling Junior's genes overall will be pretty strong, although for right now the twins look like the swimming in the Lands' end of the gene pool. But faces will explode and we'll really see what's what come bday time...of course, you've yet to be introduced at all. Must try to carve out some time to get started on the next part
( ... )
Yes, please, carve out time as soon as ever you can. You need to prioritize your creative endeavors. For your own sake of course. This request is entirely altruistic

Candy writing romance novels is hilarious. I've seen some reference to that on your tumblr but I never noticed, is Junior actively involved with his son? So far he's looking to be a doting parent, although Lana tries to beat him to the care-taking (with whatever baby Mary's not tending). Very: "oh Junior, hand it over, let me show you--this is how you feed/burp/change a baby". Like she would know. Junior was reared by the nanny. (Or nannies. I'm pretty sure more than one quit, or were fired, probably for making eyes at Rich.) And considering that she easily put 2 and 2 together when news trickled out that Candy was missing while insisting on keeping mum and knowing pretty well what her husband is capable of...Lana's definitely not a woman to turn one's back on (she gets stab-by) but she's also great comic fodder. Ironically, because in the heat of the moment she's not capable of Rich's restraint
( ... )
Your Junior is doting on the twins?! Wow, that really gives me hope for him - as a generally rule, Junior and Candy are in a dead heat for Worst Parent in Widespot
( ... )
Doting may be too strong a word but he does seem amused by the fact that they exist. 'I did that? Both of 'em? Cool!' It's an interesting contrast to Rich's urgency about his own Mannpower in this department. (Pride and vanity...Rich and Lana really were a perfect couple
( ... )
"Dumbass, can't you read body language at all? She already knows what she doesn't like." Leading directly to the even more disastrous conversation with the woman who slouches to de-emphasize her bosom because she is so sick of the D-cup being the only thing a man sees
( ... )
Patience, patience, patience...
