Last time, infidelity galore, Claudia had a rather creepy crush on her great-nephew, gen. 7 heir Severus got married to Jake Payton and lastly, they had a daughter, Veronica!
The first shot of this update is revision - here's the first generation eight baby, Veronica! Yay!
Claudia: Hey, Sevvie, call me! Call meeeeeee! :'D
I don't even want to caption this :(
Severus: Oh no, what a pity... it's time for work. We will have to continue this excruciating fascinating conversation later.
Claudia: *++*
Claudia: Did you know that Bellatrix...
Claudia: ...cheated on Kevin??
Turin: Yeah, with me you dipshit :\
Claudia: well, PUZZLES ARE AN ABOMINATION UPON THIS EARTH!! I HATE PUZZLES!!!!!
Claudia: I hate WooHoo, too, that disgusting symbol of moral depravity in our time... in my capacity as CAPTAIN HERO I think I shall abolish WooHoo from the Earth today
Basically, Claudia is going senile in old age. (Although personally, I suspect that she began to go senile in middle age. This obsessive crush on Severus is just ridiculous.)
Turin isn't too bothered about his de facto's insanity, because he's surrounded himself with younger, more attractive and less batshit crazy women.
...oh and Jake.
Jake: You're hot.
Turin: Thanks Jake. :)
Meanwhile, Einstein is doing his typical thing in which he is totally invisible yet takes excellent care of the baby.
Well except this time he decided to mix it up a little and put the baby on the floor.
After many hours, Luna puts her new niece in her crib.
Turin and Bellatrix: *are soppy and romantic*
Kevin: *approves*
Claudia: Sevvie, I KNOW the only reason you won't be with me is the music! FUCK THE MUSIC I SAY! Let's smash the radio, let's destroy all melodies, let's have a wonderful music-free world with YOU AND ME TOGETHER!!!
Severus: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, GREAT-AUNT CLAUDIA??? and music is great
Claudia: Mmmmmm, I love a man who fights back ;)
Severus (thinking): If I ignore her, maybe she'll go away...
Oh yeah and meanwhile Kevin is seducing Claudia's (seemingly) less batshit colleague (although she must be at least slightly batshit or she would never have come home with Claudia), Verdana Dork.
Bellatrix: *DISAPPROVES*
(but for once she doesn't slap him so we're making progress)
MAYBE it's that she realised it's hypocritical to get mad at Kevin when she's unfaithful herself??
Bellatrix: Hey guys. What's going on here?
Verdana: Nothin'.
Kevin: Damn I love this girl. *crushes*
Luna is, surprisingly, also reasonably diligent at looking after baby Veronica.
OK I have to say, I think Turin is better than Kevin at the whole romancing thing. If I leave Turin alone with a Sim (mostly Bellatrix), he'll often go outside with them and cuddle under the stars and do all sorts of soppy sentimental things that Kevin the Evil Wizard wouldn't seem to be caught dead doing.
Meanwhile, Kevin goes out with Verdana.
And gets scared by a ghost. (Thanks Julia!)
It's Veronica's birthday!
The toddler Veronica! Cute :D
Jake wanted to have another baby, so I let him try for another baby. Three times in a row. Eventually we succeeded...
Claudia: YOUR PLANET IS A PIECE OF SHIT. I hope you go back to that HELL-HOLE where you BELONG and stop disgracing this family with your cruel efforts to take Turin away from me!!
Bellatrix: MY PLANET RULES, BITCH
Oh wow, I am so surprised to see this :|
Then one day, I got to deal with the awesome phenomenon of a lightning bolt setting a tree on fire milliseconds before the end of the storm, so the fire can't be put out by rain. I actually took twenty screenshots of this exciting event, and then I realised it wasn't actually exciting, so have a summarised version.
The fire reduced the tree to ash, and then it spread to the grass surrounding the tree (rather than fizzling out like I thought would happen -_-;).
Sooooo, another tree caught fire. Then I remembered I have an entire forest of trees here :|
Out comes our "volunteer" firefighter, Severus, who no doubt was motivated by the thought that he could escape Great-Aunt Claudia's creepiness.
Somehow he managed to split the fire into two rival fires. That one at the bottom died out (after he walked through it), happily, but as for the one at the top...
...well, yet another tree almost bit the dust, and by "bit the dust" I clearly mean "become dust". But Severus finally successfully extinguished a fire. -_-;
Tragically, Severus' heroism in the face of danger has only made him more attractive to Great-Aunt Claudia :[
Cedric remains the only ghost in this family to work out how to get inside. Damn him. Why is he so smart?!
Claudia: And that's why you're an evil bitch!
Cedric: SO THERE!
Claudia, you can't conspire with the dead to pick on the living... D:
It's Luna's awkwardly-placed birthday!
Elle est belle :D (Actually as a Spanish student I should probably say "Luna es hermosa" or something but w/e.)
Claudia: Help me, I seem to be paralysed... :(
Turin: *sigh* Just ignore the senile old woman behind me...
Turin: LOLOLOL! Red Hands is so fun when you can't even move your hands!
Claudia: :(
Luna: I am going to take Great-Aunt Claudia down.
Claudia: oh crap :(
Luna: Take that! *punch*
Claudia: :(
Claudia: you're scaly like a fish :(
Luna: HEYYYY GRRRRR
Veronica: OMG OMG OMG HELP ME GUYS I'VE BEEN ABANDONED HELP MEEEEEEE
Einstein, what do you think you're doing sleeping?? You're failing in your duties as a child-minder! GET BACK TO WORK!
>:]
Veronica: please may I have some food as well? :(
Claudia: THAT IS THE LAST TIME ANYONE USES MY PARALYSIS AS AN EXCUSE TO PUNCH ME!
Oh shit. RUN KEVIN RUN!!
OK Einstein you're not really helping her cool down now, are you
(PS the automatically-generated filename for this picture is "ohkapi". Oh indeed, I am very disappointed in you, Kapi >:|)
Luna: I am on hunger strike for better living conditions
Me: *headdesk*
Claudia: YOUR HAIR SO UGLY, IT LOOKS LIKE A BAD HAT
Bellatrix: S. T. F. U. D:<
Bellatrix: What the fuck is wrong with you anyway??
She snuggles with Turin to make herself feel better :3
Then Kevin.
Turin: Damn I wish I could get in on that!
Seriously, if the Sims allowed threesomes, these three would totally volunteer :(
Kevin: Mm threesome, now that's an idea... I'll prepare ;)
Bellatrix and Turin: *stare*
Kevin: Seriously, how ~sensual~ am I being? ;)
Bellatrix: hmmm... A-
Kevin: are you kidding me, A minus? This is an A++++ body, babe ;)
Turin: OK, errrr, I don't think I want to look there. But my, isn't their eighteen-year-old daughter Luna looking attractive today! ;)
Turin: ~you 'n' me babe, how about i-it~
Luna: YES 8D
Turin is such an old sleaze. He's seriously like 60 in Sim-years now :(
And then he goes to work like a cool cat. I can see the headlines now: "CONGRESSMAN IN SEX SCANDAL, AGAIN"
Jake got caught spying on the neighbours again :(
Jake: Doesn't he know that I'm ~engaged~?
Me: You're actually married and pregnant, but if you want to go with "engaged", ok.
PLUTO!!!!!
He is as cute as ever. I really want to fill my updates with Pluto spam but that feels wrong :(
Veronica: YO FUCKERSSSSSS COME ATTEND TO ME
Veronica: ... please *wibble*
Sorry Veronica, these adults are too busy with their love, um, septagon...
... or sleeping.
Kevin: SHUT THE FUCK UP, you stupid shit, I need my beauty sleep -_-;
OK game, I don't know why Albus smustling is so important, but if you want to pop up those little boxes to show me it...
Einstein: Mmmm, the sweet contentment of a LTW :)
Einstein: Hey, what's this?
It's... ELDER EINSTEIN!
Veronica: Waaaaaaaah help me life is shit
Me: What was that?
Veronica: Nothin' :D
~*~happy tiemz~*~
~CUMPLEAÑOS~ (this word is what I learned in Spanish last week)
I am shocked.
Anyway, she is basically gorgeous :3
Veronica: Now I'm old enough to hold a pen, I'm going to write a ruthless exposé revealing you lot as the heartless so-called "relatives" you are. With a quill.
The thought of this made Veronica so gleeful that she immediately zapped up into gold aspiration :|
I changed her hair, and she got even CUTER ^_^
The end!
...with some final credit for sims:
katu_sims for Einstein and Verdana Dork
simgaroop for Turin Grunt-Summerdream
simsforaranya for Bellatrix Forest
simmericangirl for Jake Payton
Oh, and as a very last word, this may be the last Sprita update for a little while. I'm planning on participating in the
Viking Death Squad Legacy Challenge over at
pixel_trade, and it'll be a struggle to make the one-update-per-week rate for that, let alone any other updates besides. However, the Spritas will definitely be back, so stay tuned!
