Simstoryteller drabbles: Tenderly and Condom

[strange_tomato]

To get myself into working on the next chapter, I decided to do a couple of the weekly drabbles from the list at Sim Storytellers.

Ah. Beautiful, succinct writing... evocative screenshots. I'm entranced. ^_^

[strange_tomato]

Thank you. Drabbles are good for getting the succinct part. I like being forced to cut it down to essentials. I usually pad it out a bit more for the chapter, but the drabbling process is usually very helpful.

Isn't Bluewater Village a nice setting? Maybe it's the switch to a lush vegetation that I'm reacting to, but I love all the little details like the lighthouse too.

[pixelcurious]

The lush green is appropriate here, too.

So is the lighthouse, when I think about it. :)

[strange_tomato]

Hmmm, yes. That does work as symbolism, doesn't it? All the flowers add to it too.

[simgarooop]

That was so sweet, very tender too :) (yeah, pun intended).

While I get the warm fuzzies (is that even a word?) seeing the three of them together, and getting used to the idea of being more than friends, I can't help it but wonder how is the rest of the town take the idea of that kind of relationship. I think the three of them couldn't care less, though.

Yeah, but that was a bit off topic. Yup, I also noticed the "real" spoiler in this drabble. Is there a play coming up in your story? ;)

[strange_tomato]

That's something that will be interesting to think about as this all develops. They're taking things as the come, I think, and it's probably not obvious to anyone besides themselves just yet, but I can see that being something very interesting to examine later on, if things turn out that way.

There is very likely going to be a play coming up, yes. :)

So cute! And I love that one drabble is more about Ophelia and the other is more about Ripp and they're both still unsure, but getting used to the togetherness. And he loves her so much and she knows and it's all good. Love these guys!

Also, I wish to see Ripp's new hair! I know he has new hair!

Final Comments: NEEDS MOAR JOHNNY.

Ummm that icon totally looks like Jill/Ripp!! :D *loves it* I know it's not, but I still love it. :D I totally should make one...*plots*

[leskuh]

Lol! It's actually my own creations Taran and Nor, though I can see where you'd pull the Ripp/Jill from.

[strange_tomato]

I like the idea of them gradually growing more used to the situation like that. I can see it being very tentative at first, and they wouldn't really be very sure about it.

Haircut? What haircut? :P

Heheh. Needs MOAR Johnny, huh? He doesn't go along on this particular errand, because he's a busy guy (unlike Ripp, who has literally nothing better to do, now that he doesn't even have a band to play in) but you'll see him back at the apartment. I spent a significant amount of time writing banter between Ripp and Johnny for that chapter, so you'll get your fill, I'm sure.

[amaryssobellus]

Yeah. I'm loving Ripp and Ophelia together too. They're just so sweet.

HAIRCUT! I caught it. :D

[strange_tomato]

I think they're good for each other. :)

Ummm, there might be a haircut... *shifty eyes* Maybe... maybe not...

[80sfiend]

:( Nooooo...not ANOTHER girl stealing Ripp from Jill. SIGH.

...still though, it's _sort of_ cute. :)

[strange_tomato]

Well, you have to admit that Ripp was never really Jill's to steal away, right? (Not in this story, at least.) And now she's involved with Buck. I'm not not doing much for your ship, am I? *shrugs in apology* You'll have to forgive me.

You can't deny the cuteness... I knew it. ;)
