The Greens v2.0 - Generation 7.5
Previously: Alcoholism, birthdays, failure, cute and win. Basically, the usual.
And now for a Special Edition, Better-Late-Than-Never Greens update, co-written with the help of one pooklet! Because I might as well take advantage of having her here. So let the fun begin.
pooklet: SHE CAN'T TALK BACK YET, BRUBAKER, SAVE YOUR EFFORTS. Although this was pretty cute, not going to lie.
pooklet: Sutherland's Brooding Chair: he broods in it.
roadtogreen: No seriously. He is constantly to be found sitting, all alone, right there, in that darkened corner of his room. I should give him a fancier chair for it some day. Like his vampire throne.
pooklet: roadtogreen and I both never teach our pets to stay off the bed for reasons illustrated here. PUPPY CUDDLES. :>
roadtogreen: Except for the part where I think Dave was trying to figure out WHERE THE FUCK TO SLEEP right at that very moment. BUT THAT'S HIS PROBLEM, AM I RIGHT?
pooklet: Brubaker is so ~fancy~.
pooklet: ... It's the eeeeye of the tigerrrrr ....
pooklet: ... it's the thrill of the fiiiight ....
pooklet: ... rising UP to the challenge of our RIIIIVALLLL ....
pooklet: ... and the LAST KNOWN SURVIVOR stalks his prey in the NIIIIGHT--OK, I'm done.
pooklet: What you can't see in this picture is Stele just off to the side, standing over him with a fresh bottle. There's a moral about impatience in there somewhere, but I can't be bothered.
roadtogreen: Basically? Ben is just a little bitch. His joy in toddlerhood came from thwarting all efforts to actually take care of him.
roadtogreen: This picture comes from a period of time when every time that Stele queued up an activity that involved bonding with Mike and rebuilding their relationship, Dave would swoop in and ACR the hell out of her until Stele gave up and went away to do his job.
pooklet: Am I the only one who feels way sorry for Stele? :{
roadtogreen: Sutherland: So, Barker. I'm taking minion applications...
Barker: What the fuck ever. Just keep petting me. My social bar is in the red here.
pooklet: Brubaker thinks he's going to win heirship in a fiddling contest, apparently.
pooklet: A CHALLENGER APPEARS.
roadtogreen: It's kind of funny how EVERY TIME BRUBAKER PLAYS AN INSTRUMENT, one of the other kids has to jump in and play the other.
pooklet: Do a little daaaance ....
pooklet: ... play a little cops and robberssss ... that's not how the song goes but I don't think Rosie and Cliff like each other like that, yanno?
pooklet: Leaving the house without any pants, come on, who hasn't done that before?
roadtogreen: Every time I see Mike change into her work outfit, I imagine her pulling the rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail out of her hat and feeding the entire audience to it. YOU KNOW SHE WOULD, OK. COME ON.
roadtogreen: Stele: *SUPER EXCITED!*
roadtogreen: Because he is apparently the only person in the house that Ben does not hate.
pooklet: Someone just earned himself a GOLD STAR.
roadtogreen: Which just means that I don't have to pay as much attention to his wants and needs. >_> There are way too many sims in this house, guys. ;_;
pooklet: AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT, PRAY TELL.
roadtogreen: Please take note of this bonding moment for later.
pooklet: It will be on the test.
roadtogreen: Not sure which part of this amuses me more - Gus standing in the snow in a pair of shorts or the way he's looking at Stele, like "If only I could sleep like that."
pooklet: Here we see the Green family going for the gold in the Synchronized Birthday event of the Legacy Olympics ...
pooklet: They're a marvelous team, folks and the crowd is just going WILD--
pooklet: --but oh, the dismount is a disappointment. See those arms? Just slightly out of synch. Looks like someone isn't going to be getting any cake tonight!
roadtogreen: Introducing Ben, who apparently has like 10 FUCKING NICE POINTS after spending his entire toddlerhood as the bitchiest child ever.
roadtogreen: And Barbara, who is monkey-faced but actually kind of cute.
pooklet: Savor the affection while it lasts, kiddo ... because it won't.
roadtogreen: pooklet can now officially confirm the fact that all of the sims in this household have a habit of ignoring the other two bathrooms in the house in favor of lining up outside of the master bath until all of their bladder bars are nearly bottomed out.
Brubaker: *smustles in said master bath FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS :D :D :D*
pooklet: I LOVE THIS LITTLE JERK SO MUCH IT'S INSANE.
roadtogreen: Roy: *defends his title of Grandfather of the Year*
roadtogreen: Remember that bonding moment earlier? Yeah. Apparently? No bonding happened.
Rosie: NO, I DON'T WANT TO DANCE. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME.
Roach: B-but I thought we were friends!
roadtogreen: Sorry, Roach, but Rosie's only true friend is her uncle Gus.
roadtogreen: And that's only because he's an easy target. :|
roadtogreen: Sutherland: So Barbara. Taking minion applications and--
Barbara: Silence! I must think! This next move is VERY IMPORTANT.
Sutherland: ...OK, later then.
pooklet: Brubaker: Heh. Boobs. *++ Music enthusiasm*
How does that even make sense at all.
roadtogreen: WAIT. WAIT. IS ROSIE REALLY PLAYING WITH AN ADULT OTHER THAN GUS? Roy is like MAGIC. ...or crack.
roadtogreen: We will now spend the rest of the evening with children lining up to play with Gus and him ignoring them in favor of his hookah bubbles.
pooklet: I have nothing suggestive or snide to say, this is just balls-to-the-wall adorable, OK.
pooklet: Playing fetch with the dog: waaaay more important than not BURNING TO DEATH. :| :| :|
roadtogreen: Sutherland's self-preservation has long since flown out the window.
pooklet: Glided away on a sea of alcohol ....
pooklet: Oh, look, cops and robbers. NOT AT ALL what this generation of Green kids does every moment of every day.
pooklet: WOO, GO STELE. ROCK OUT WITH YOUR ... GENERATOR OUT!
roadtogreen: My favorite part is the calm, contented face...with HARDCORE ROCK MUSIC in the background.
roadtogreen: This would be a lot more badass if it was taking place in a back alley or something. Now, Dave. Please go bathe the dog. Like I told you to.
pooklet: Man, everyone hates Cliff. Even Arbitrary Skunk hates Cliff. :[
pooklet: Arbitrary Skunk: Is someone making waffles? I smell waffles!
roadtogreen: ...apparently Roach and Music Lady ate the waffles.
pooklet: Those BASTARDS.
pooklet: Bree: Zzz ... fuck justice ... zzz ....
TRYING TO BE MORE LIKE ROSIE IN A DESPERATE BID FOR HEIR, EH? I see through your ruse.
roadtogreen: This is what we call sucking up to the current heir in an attempt to earn yourself heirship. Brubaker is quite skilled in this attention-whoring technique.
roadtogreen: Originally, they were all lined up for attention from Gus. Eventually, the twins gave up and fell back upon one of this generation's favored activities.
Wes: ...alas. No food from this corner, either.
pooklet: "Roach has food poisoning!" WHAT A SHOCKER. I MEAN, REALLY. :|
roadtogreen: Vera: *has apparently decided that naked hot-tubbing with her household enemy is the best way ever to overcome his hatred of her! (++)*
Dave: *awkwaaaaard*
pooklet: Cliff: My, this isn't at all traumatizing in all ways possible.
roadtogreen: Bree: *does a bed-jumping K-Pop dance JUST FOR pooklet!*
pooklet: *SEAL CLAP OF GREAT YAY :D :D :D :D :D* If someone starts slapping their shoe, I may just die of glee.
roadtogreen: ...ouch. o.o
pooklet: What? They're so in love that they have FUSED TOGETHER. It's totally ~romantic~.
roadtogreen: Barbara and Ben: *synchronized laziness*
Wes: What is this madness?
roadtogreen: Because obviously your parents' bed is the best place ever to get it on. :|
pooklet: At least the robot likes you, Cliff. ... Although I think he might be programmed to do that.
pooklet: Ben & Cliff: Mom? Mom? Mommy? Mom? Ma? Momma? Mom? Mom ...?
Vera: Mm, nope. Can still hear them. Definitely not drunk enough.
pooklet: Oh Dave, have we lost you, too? :[
roadtogreen: Bree: Hey! Hey look, Rosie! Hey look!
Rosie: Booo! Your existence makes you suck!
roadtogreen: Sweetheart, while I'm fairly certain that plenty of people wouldn't blame you for wanting to get into bed with yourself...
roadtogreen: ...the person beside you is, in fact, your son.
pooklet: roadtogreen can confirm I was ridiculously excited for this. 8D 8D 8D OUR LITTLE BRUBAKER IS GROWING UPPPP.
roadtogreen: Just so everyone understands, the original Brubaker was pretty much pooklet's favorite Green ever during my first attempt at this legacy.
pooklet: IT'S TRUE. :D :D :D :D :D
roadtogreen: Brubaker: I am fucking awesome, y/y?
pooklet: Y!
roadtogreen: Introducing the one and only teenaged Brubaker Green! Whose stats I do not, in fact, have written down!
pooklet: Keep an eye out for neon purple hair, because SO HELP ME, he will have it.
The End.
Next time: I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I have seriously only played as far as what you see right here.
