See I wasn't lying when I said they'd be back :)
This update is in fact at LiveJournal even though I like Dreamwidth way better because I wanted to keep all the Spritas updates in the same place, and I still do. So you can comment with your LJ accounts and everything without even logging in with OpenID ;)
Don't remember what happened
last time? That's ok. In short, the first child of generation eight was born and kind of neglected, Claudia had a creepy crush on her grand-nephew, and there was a whole lot of infidelity. I realise that is almost the same summary as for the update before it, but... given the time lapse, you probably don't. So there ;)
It's been a long time since a Spritas update. So, let's recap on some of the developments that took place while I was actually playing the Antikvas...
Firstly, Bellatrix had a secretive rendezvous with her lover Adric at the park, and they ~fell in love~.
Annnnnd Bellatrix tried to befriend Marianne Antikva but Marianne was TOO HUNGRY (apparently) and bailed.
Kevin met Astrid Antikva at a club (and I got a new laptop LOL)
...but she tried to eat his arm
Turin met Marianne
and they had sex in the hot tub OUTSIDE at a CLUB
and then he was not exactly impressed when she tried to move on to another guy
and decided to keep a ~watchful eye~ on her (along with Owen Piper) when she jumped into the hot tub with Drizzt Dork
Claudia and Antonia also went clubbing but spent most of their time beating each other up...
Severus met Astrid and TURNED INTO AN AGGRESSIVE FREAK AND YELLED AT HER FOR NO REASON
then tickled her????
then SEETHED WITH RAGE as Adrianna Beachwee* accepted some flirting from her
* In case you missed my explanation ages ago, yes, all of
beachwee's Sims have the surname "Beachwee" in my game ;D
and THEN tried to stop them WooHooing but he was too late, far far too late (sorry Severus)
And that basically brings us up to where we are now...
Jake: Hey Turin... you're hot. Congrats :)
Yes Jake still does this.
Claudia: Sooooo you know that Jake?
Jake: ... Turin come back :(
Claudia: Totally pissed himself one time lololol it was such a riot
Jake: :| So mean.
Jake: Don't laugh, Turin... I think you're hot :(
Luna: Oi Turin, c'mere :*
Jake: But Turin........ I said you were hot :(
Luna: *snogs her great uncle (by marriage admittedly but seriously wtf)*
Antonia: All these competitors! Turin is my man who I cheat on my fiancé to be with! I'mma punch them out *pow pow*
Claudia: Oh by the way sweetie... congratulations on falling in love with my partner. I am simply overjoyed for you.
Luna: Oh, uhhhhh... thanks, Great-Aunt Claudia... :)?
Claudia: But in other news PUZZLES SUCK HOW COULD YOU LIKE PUZZLES RAH RAH RAH DOWN WITH PUZZLES D:<
Luna: Oh I agree, puzzles are rather shitty!
Claudia: You... agree? Oh... um... okay.
Claudia: SEVVIE! What a coincidence that you would be eating at the exact same time that I decide to eat!
Severus: ... Hello, Great-Aunt Claudia.
Severus: You know, I hate to rain on your parade, but we are never going to happen. Ever. :D
Claudia: Ummmm... what? I don't understand? :S
Veronica: OMG IT'S MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND I ONLY GOT A C+, WHY???
THIS is Veronica's report card. Can anyone make heads or tails of this? I can't. How does Veronica even know she got a bad grade? This makes no sense.
Kevin: Oh the things I am going to do to Bellatrix... I am going to do evil things.
Me: ok Kevin, way to be a mega creep there.
OMG CAN YOU QUIT IT WITH THE WAVING PARTY I HATE WAVING PARTIES!!!!!!!!
Veronica and Pluto!!! :D :D :D Ultracuteness.
Turin cooked everyone a lovely plate of grilled cheese then served it onto the floor. You know why?!
Because according to ACR it is WAY MORE VITALLY IMPORTANT that he get it on with his great-niece ;_______; omg. Thanks ACR, you're the greatest. I guess they're not technically blood relations but still???
As you might've guessed from the total lack of pictures I forgot that Albus existed and now he's about to grow up with only Mr Toilet in attendance. lol oops.
He rolled Knowledge/Family... and his ~autonomous gender preference~ is for "None" which is pretty bullshit and I don't know how he's going to start a family in that case but w/e I don't really care.
Perhaps put off by her husband Kevin's stated intention to do evil to her, Bellatrix marched up to Turin and kissed him...
Jake: omg what :|
But Turin only has eyes for Antonia.
Okay, and Luna.
All right and for that matter, Bellatrix as well. You know how it is.
Donna: THIS FAMILY SUCKS NOW THAT I'M NOT IN IT BECAUSE I'M DEAD
Donna: ESPECIALLY THAT LITTLE GIRL, VERONICA!! IF I EVER BECOME CORPOREAL AGAIN I'M GOING TO PUMMEL HER INTO LITTLE ITTY BITTY SMITHEREENS. I AM NOT FUCKING AROUND ON THIS
Bellatrix: :}
Turin: :}
Luna: MINE!!! *snog-attack!*
Albus: Seriously, sister? Seriously??!
Claudia: I see you're still in love with my husband. Good job!
Luna: Oh... uh... thanks? :)
I like that in old age Claudia is finally beyond caring, at least.
Donna: GO FORTH AND KILL THAT LITTLE GIRL, ELDERLY DESCENDANT!! YOUR GREAT-GRANDMOTHER COMMANDS YOU!
Even when Turin takes a well-earned break from romance, his lovers queue up to hassle him. I am not joking.
Yes, Turin, I know. Your life is so hard. Having four lovers in the same house is such hard work. (I am not even joking, he has a romance going on with every female in this house except Veronica. If this were real life, Turin would be some kind of hardcore polygamist cultist. TO THINK HIS PRIMARY ASPIRATION IS ACTUALLY KNOWLEDGE OMG.)
Luna: Awww, don't go to bed... stay awake with me :')
Antonia: No, stay awake with me :)
Luna: NO, HE'S MINE!!!
Turin: omg help O__O
Antonia: I'm going to pummel that girl.
Turin: ok guys... not that I don't enjoy being fought over but I am really tired, please let me go :(
So Antonia moves on. But umm, Antonia, I don't think he really likes that.
Never mind I THINK HE LIKES THAT A LOT
I just really liked this picture, okay. Sometimes I don't need a caption.
Luna: NO BED FOR YOU!! Unless you come to bed with me ;)
Claudia: I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE CHARADE THAT IS OUR MARRIAGE!! You're supposed to love me, dammit!
Turin: You know, that would be a good point if we were actually married.
Turin: Nonetheless, I will do my best to ensure that it is a charade no longer!
Claudia: Oh good :]
Turin: *red minus for Claudia*
Luna: Neeear, faaaar, whereeeeeeeeeeever you aaaaaaare, I beliieeeeeve that the heart does go onnnnnnn..
Turin: Awww this is so touching :)
Claudia: :|
Claudia: nm he's just too hot for me to care *swoon*
Yes Claudia, you can win him back with red hands!
Just so we're all clear, Donna still hates Veronica. A lot.
Adorableeeeeeeee :3
Less adorable when it results in this, though :|
Veronica: IIIIIIII'M STINKYYYYYYY
Me: THEN SHOWER, GENIUS
Maybe this is why Donna hates her.
Potato chips?? Severus, I don't think this is what graceful dancers should be eating.
Pluto chilling very sadly by his empty food bowl... :( Poor Pluto.
Jake: I pissed myself... :(
Jake: omg, and now I hurt? Guys??
NEW BABY!! Su nombre es Logan, and he could be a clone of Veronica, I don't know really. I haven't played ahead. He does have all the same colouring though.
The end! :D
