pixel_trade! Generation 8 spouse, Marty Fletcher, is by
brilliantcat.
Last time, Khione was declared winner of the heir poll, and we learned her LTW was to max out her skills. She also dated
alfredaskew's Noah and got her first kiss. After declaring her major (math), she dated
kingmike1224's Dave Simpson. Hypnos also got closer to GC sim Beta Simpson. (Former) Llama Ronan, who just happens to be married to either Gaia or Nyx Randolph, propositioned Iris and...she was into it. Really into it. Khione dated around a bit more, but it soon became a two-horse race, with her rolling engagement wants for both Noah and Dave.
Hypnos continued with his success at ALL HIS LIFE by autonomously keeping his GC wants fulfilled and passing his classes. It took a little nudge from Khione to show his feelings to Beta, but after that, they were inseperable. Selene drove herself crazy by constantly singing karaoke, despite being afraid to sing karaoke. She also started hooking up with
jenji_sims's Alfredo Olom. Zelus...failed out of school and went crazy. Everyone else graduated, and Khione moved back home.
Khione's first morning back home kind of...set a stage. She burned three pans of pancakes in a row.
But I have, like, five cooking points!
...then how do you fuck up pancakes REPEATEDLY?
...I'm thinking yogurt parfaits for breakfast tomorrow. Something nice and cool.
I guess I shouldn't have had Khione call them to breakfast. But Marty was foolishly on the exercise bike!
I was antsy to get started on Generation 10, so I had Khione invite one of her two favorite men over. This would be
kingmike1224's Dave Simpson.
They certainly didn't waste any time when it came to the "baby-making" aspect, but Khione seems like the marrying type, right?
Dammit, Marty, you were literally next to the toilet.
New (to me) animation! Mnemosyne "cheers up" Marty.
Don't worry, honey. Incontinence is not uncommon when you reach your golden years. Just think about what a long, fulfilling life you've had!
...now would you mind getting out of the way so those of us that can still control our bladders are able to relieve them?
SADDEST FACE EVER, MARTY
I had Khione ask Dave what he wanted...ah, this should wrap things up nicely and get us Gen 10 soon!
She sure was satisfied with his response.
...why the hell is Dave thinking about her mother?
Ah, so outside, Khione decided to ask Dave if he wanted to be in a committed relationship. You know, the prerequisite to getting engaged, which is the prerequisite to getting married...the end goal Dave supposedly wanted?
Yeah, guys, you see, he said no.
B-but you said...
Aw, Khione. This is so not a dream date, despite what that meter may say!
Rejection is terrible! Especially when it's the second rejection after I had her attempt to butter him up. She had no drugs love potion, and she's not a romance sim, so no butt roses.
Then he came in and stole some pancakes! Like he had any idea just what an undertaking it is for Khione to make pancakes!
But then...
alfredaskew's Noah called up Khione.
Oh, I'm not doing much. Invited over some freeloading asshole.
...wha?
Who apparently has the hots for Khione's mom.
...because she'd have to get very drunk to want to invite you back?
Honestly, that was one of the biggest dick moves I've seen a sim pull in ~romance~. "I totally want to marry you, but I don't want to be your boyfriend."
I'm sorry about earlier, honey. It's just aggravating when you spend hours sleeping in the bathroom, but seem to forget how to locate the toilet.
If it still works for you, Mnem, great. I think I'd have been permanently turned off in your situation, though.
Khione lets off some steam by kicking things. Repeatedly.
Since we're obviously going through groceries 3x the normal rate with Khione cooking, I had to invite over the elf grocery woman!
Gen 10 isn't even gestating at this point, so I had Khione invite Noah over. She did once want to get engaged to him, too!
Slightly over-enthusiastic welcome on her part, I'd say. But her ego did take a bit of a hit earlier.
Wow, my sister is making out with some dude on the street and can't even invite me over!
Hold your horses, Selene, I'll have her welcome you so you can visit your parents immediately head over to the bubble blower.
Hey, I'm kind of having an important thing here, Selene, Mom and Dad should be inside!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what man doesn't say that immediately after a great time in bed?
However, in this case, when asked for a mere ~committed relationship~, Khione's partner says yes!
I WANTED GEN TEN YESTERDAY--
I mean, Khione decided that there was no point in having a long, drawn-out courtship...
...and after Noah hopped on the bike immediately after moving in, I decided there was no point in a long, drawn-out engagement and had Khione throw a wedding party.
Selene was already there, anyway! Convenient!
Aeneas Bork managed to show up ahead of the others and alone. I had a split-second fear that no one Khione invited showed up...even though folks seem more likely to show for weddings than other parties.
Uncle Atlas, and her brothers Hypnos and Zelus.
Aunt Aura, sister Iris, Selene's beau Alfredo, Uncle Prometheus, old friend Laurence Rowan (
simsforaranya), Aunt Tethys, who's completely blocking out Aunt Theia, and IIris's "friend" Ronan (the ex-llama).
I had completely forgotten that inviting Generation 8 over was a bad idea so soon after Hyperion and Cassie died on the very same day.
Let's hope this isn't too detrimental...
...to the overall party score!
Especially because I find this even more demoralizing, to be perfectly frank!
Prometheus has it the worst, because to him it's like his twin died, and then his parents did the next day.
Once her aunts and uncle had mostly calmed down, Khione led Noah outside, and they took their vows.
Selene didn't deign to leave her post at the bubbles and join the ceremony.
Mnemosyne found it lovely, though~~
Why, you're looking spry, great-uncle Ronan!
THAT IS THE MAN I LOVE
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, IRIS?!
So, you'd think Khione is just being a bit odd with the soccer playing?
Noah really digs Sports, so there!
I bet Khione's choice in workout attire makes the whole experience extra fun for him, though! :D
So, keep in mind this is still during Khione's wedding party. Now that she's had a wholesome workout, she really wants to spy on her neighbors.
I bet they're all jealous that they weren't invited to my wedding.
You know, I really bet they're not.
You better treat my sister right. She dated this one jackass, he wouldn't even promise to be exclusive to her.
...were you, like, high or something when I took my wedding vows, Selene?
*coughs*Something like that...*coughs*
Atlas is a bit slow on the uptake...if he's just now realizing his parents are dead.
I wonder if he just asked Hypnos where they were or something.
Oh for god's sake, what kind of job does he have that they wouldn't let him have the day off for his own wedding?
You look worried about something.
Oh, I probably should've called into work.
Now that I think about it, today's date sorta turned into a lifetime committment for Noah here, so we can't blame him for being unprepared.
Hello, Khione, who's this nice young man?
Oh, Dad, this is my husband!
...this may have all also happened while Marty was at work.
I couldn't quite capture this, but Cassie popped up and helped make the bed...that Khione is obviously preparing to bang her new husband in.
Cassie, that's not sweet enough to NOT be creepy, sorry. You're her GRANDMA.
Like Marty doesn't already have enough problems, Nathaniel!
Please, please don't ask for that, Khione. It would be fucking ridiculous if my pregnant generation 9 heir died.
Oh...spoilers?
At least the boys have a way to bond!
Noah even makes friends with Marty's work pal, Bruce-Bragi Bork! (I had some trouble remembering which Bruce, that is a horrible challenge and whomever thought of it is horrible!)
Foreground is Julian Amore by
senzastelle, I think. I didn't get enough of a closeup to be sure, sorry!
So, Khione isn't minding pregnancy too much. Spending her days on the couch learning is like a Pleasure/Knowledge wet dream come true!
She's still burning half her breakfasts, though.
*clappy hands* She made the fried chicken in one try, all by herself!
Fuck you, Aphrodite, she LIKED it.
NO NO NO STOP IT
Khione ended up being okay, but I'm a little perturbed by Mnem's lack of care.
Sweetie, try not to scream so loud, the vibration might wake the llama.
Hahaha, sure they are Khione, sure they are...
...to her credit, this was her first try and it was successful.
On the other hand, it's really hard to make eggs inedible.
Aw, isn't this adorable? Still so loving after all these years...Mnem in some crazy hot pink undies...
...Noah barging in after they take off their clothes to use the goddamn exercise bike!
Haha at the old repair dude not believing his eyes when Mnem takes flight.
Ah yes...Noah has
a thing for pianos, doesn't he?
And he's off to work...apparently he's got a job as a cook, so we'll leave him there. I'd like to keep his one adult command for the potential dire emergency.
A final pop, or is she really excited I hung up her photobooth pics with Noah?
Aww...
Aww... x2
And Marty just stood around, admiring the portraits of his wife and daughter for awhile.
Are you just sitting here watching the weather channel, Khione?
They play actual shows now sometimes. And I'm learning about storm chasers today!
However, I think Khione might've missed the end of her show that day.
Did anyone expect me to do any different?
We've got one very pale boy, with his father's hair and eye color--Thanatos.
Another boy...with the exact same features! Triton.
I'm actually a bit excited at the chance I might have identical twins. How crazy would that be?
Perks to Noah's cooking career--he brought home Vesna Magicakes-Bork!
DEIMOS YOU ASSHOLE
Let's make another baby! After all, Gen 10 can't possibly not have an XD-eyed kid, and I think Khione should have at least one girl. So why wait and see what the boys look like when we can get started now?
I panicked for a second, but then I realized he couldn't be worse at cooking than Khione, and I was right!
Give it a fucking rest, Marty. Being a little flabby is better than passing out and pissing yourself.
Mnem returns home with
leenyland's Snorri Sowhut. I'd be a little bit more disappointed at the lateness of his introduction to Khione if I hadn't already used one of that creator's sims in the legacy.
Time for the boys' first birthday!
This is Thanatos...
...and this is Triton.
Yep, they're identical. Hereafter, for all of our sanity, Thanatos will have darker hair than Triton. But still brown. ;)
Also, GEN 10 XD EYES WOOT WOOT.
Looks like Triton takes after his dad when it comes to barging in on private time!
Marty, that honestly probably isn't helping.
OH GOD NOT THIS
NOT NOW
D:
Really, that was a bad time for the flu. But they were able to rest enough to quickly get over it. Also, unlike in real life, sims toddlers can't get the flu! :D :D
You've already been through this once, how can you be that surprised, Khione?
A giant robot is nothing compared to radiation poisoning!
...well, at least they can't take her perma-plat away from her, too. :(
On the bright side, lots of time with the grandbabies, Mnem!
...that was the biggest achievement of her life.
Noah's a pretty good dad.
While he obsessively tosses a ball with his father-in-law, I had Khione invite her brothers in for grilled cheese.
Zelus is hard to please, so we just aimed to keep Hypnos happy.
I hope this one's a girl!
Mnem, what's with the cloud of stank?
...the ghosts strike again!
Thanatos found the activity table. I wonder if he'll love crayons as much as his aunt Iris?
GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL
More babies=more chance for a girl!
One child, a girl, Asteria! She's pale, but with a different skintone than her brothers. She also has Noah's hair and eye color.
Moar toddler spam!
So...it took Dave this long to ring Khione up to ask how she was doing.
Do I want to go ou--look, not only am I MARRIED, but I just had a baby. Our third.
Yay for Mnem doing autonomous potty training! Boo for doing it the very hour Thanatos is going to become a child.
Triton goes first, though, and grows up very well!
...in hindsight, Thanatos's toilet training may have been aptly timed!
I think Triton is adorable...so Thanatos will be, too!
Unfortunately, we've got another day before we discover what Asteria will look like.
Aaaand child Thanatos!
WHO THE HELL LET RONAN IN?!
So, genuine smile, or masking genuine terror? You decide.
Seriously, Marty...
Someone takes after his father!
If I've hit Gen 10, it's kosher to move the rest of the graves off the lot, right? They're so numerous.
In Thanatos's defense, I'd be willing to bet money that Marty just constantly smells like urine these days.
So, happy times! I made it to Gen 10 again...and for the first time with an ISBI! :D
