Gwenyth's Dojo Dynasty: 4/6/14

[Tilia]

Whoa!  Vera is gorgeous.  Great job with her hair/make up.

[Gwendy]

What a nice older sister Vera is, having her little twig-of-a-brother drag over all those logs while she simply pokes at the fire. They're as big as he is! 

[RainBeau]

I foresee many years of bonfire birthday bashes for the Daredevil Dojos. Vera is altogether too cool-looking, as she has such fantastic traits. What a combination! So perfect! I love it. Is she going to be an Art Appraiser? 

[ArianaJade]

Gwenyth: "Hm, fire? Well all right then."

Love it. Vera looks awesome as a teen. I love how Sinjon (I think it's Sinjon) has put his clothes back on towards the end. Clearly the smart one.

My first thought when I saw Vera was, "woah!" She looks amazing. Looks like she got the best features of both parents. I bet she looks even more beautiful as she gets older.

[Shewolf13]

Lovely!  Hehehe, the daredevil trait is so much fun.  Is it bad I totally identify with the need to play with fire?

[Rhoxi]

I realize it's been awhile, so I just wanted to respond to comments and let you all know that I have by no means abandoned this story! Just been busy with studying for finals and life craziness!

It's cool, Nathaniel feels just the same way (just kidding  *loads cannons*)

Edit: I just now noticed the actual post! *Facepalm* Vera is really a beauty. I love how she's keeping the cool, modern, edgy style in the dynasty!

I'm thinking most of the characters will be fairly modern looking. It's kind of refreshing after so many generations of traditional kimono garb and grey hair.

Yes, Vera is an awesome-looking nerd.  I so enjoy your rainboos.  Ordinary Sims look so bland by comparison (insert me pouting here)

Aw, no pouting! If you like rainbow sims, go make some! They are tons of fun to play with, and it certainly helps make them more unique looking.

Whoa!  Vera is gorgeous.  Great job with her hair/make up.

Thanks! She was actually really difficult to style. It's probably hard to tell, but her eyebrow ridge is unusually high. Those eye brows were the only ones that set a little lower and still looked normal. If you look carefully at sort of a 3/4 view, you can tell the eyebrow and the nose don't run together quite right. There's sort of a bump. Dreads are dark make-up were kind of a saving grace on her, too. All in all, I love how she looks, but I definitely spent a looooong time playing around in CaS.

She is indeed a most thoughtful big sister.

I love the new bonfire parties! It just works so perfectly with the beach, and I like that the guests actually gather around it instead of running off to do whatever else is on the lot. I'm a little wary of rabbit hole careers after some glitches I had with them in the last dynasty. She's going to do sculpting for the official career, then do art appraiser later just for fun.

Love it. Vera looks awesome as a teen. I love how Sinjon (I think it's Sinjon) has put his clothes back on towards the end. Clearly the smart one.

Yeah, they were starting to get cold. Oddly enough, the fire does not seem to keep the sims warm, which is kinda counter-intuitive. I had to tell most of them to get dressed as the evening continued.

My first thought when I saw Vera was, "woah!" She looks amazing. Looks like she got the best features of both parents. I bet she looks even more beautiful as she gets older.

Aside from the nose, she is all Sinjon. I'll have to show some side views of her face so you can tell. Sinjon's genes, I think, are going to have a big influence on this group of Dojos. It's true, her eyes get a little wider and really pop when she ages up again.

Lovely!  Hehehe, the daredevil trait is so much fun.  Is it bad I totally identify with the need to play with fire?

Not at all! Just, you know, buy the Fireproof Homestead reward before you do!

Actually (spoiler alert), I'm going to have Sims based on the various color sliders as the contestants in my new season of the College Daze Challenge.  You inspired me  :=)

[maisie]

Vera is indeed really lovely! I love the contrast of her striking colour and sort of gothic outfit. You did a great job with her.
I'm not sure, but is there anywhere a **ible spouse in sight?

Oh, how fun! I don't wander over into the Miscellaneous stories very often, but I'll have to check that out!

Thanks! I actually have a particular townie sim in mind for Vera, but you'll just have to guess who for now! 


Sinjon's Daughter

Gwenyth couldn't help but be amazed by this daughter of her's and Sinjon's. She was so exotically beautiful, that she found herself stopping to stare at the most mundane moments.

Vera playing in the sprinklers. (She must remember to lock the door to the garden!)



Yet despite that, Gwenyth couldn't help but feel a strange pain in her heart. Why did Vera have to look so much like Sinjon? The high eyebrow ridge, the roundness to her forehead, and those gorgeous, pouting lips. Had she contributed anything except her nose to this beautiful creature?



Sometimes she peeked into her daughter's bedroom at night, just to watch her sleep. Perhaps it was unkind of her to resent Sinjon's contributions to Vera's features. He was her father, after all, and unlike her, Sinjon wouldn't be immortal. Perhaps he deserved to be preserved for later generations to remember.

Perhaps. But all Gwenyth could see was a living reminder that she had been with any other man but Carmen.



It had been so many years. Sometimes she worried that her memories of him were dimming. She had to see him again, any way she could.

So Gwenyth built a state of the art science laboratory in the basement and started learning a new skill. Or a very old one, depending on how you look at it.



She also tried to keep her mind pre-occupied by taking up a new hobby in online gaming and designing a beautiful new living room to boot.

Samura: *Ahem!* Well, that's an extraordinarily large television for a dynasty.

Gwenyth: "Yeah, yeah, mom. I know. In your dynasty we could only have that outdated old thing so no one could learn skills. Things are changing; keep up with the times!"

Samura: We also didn't have a laboratory. What's with that?

Gwenyth: "It's called science, mom. It's a new skill."



While Gwenyth worried over Vera's features, she hoped desperately that one of her sons, at least, would look something like her. Did Evan have those tilted eyes? It was too early to tell.



So she enjoyed the toddler cuteness while it lasted.



Sinjon taught Evan to walk, while Romeo tutored Vera in her homework.



After all, yet another birthday was whizzing by, reminding her to cherish every moment.

Sinjon, considerably younger than her, was finally having his adult birthday!



He decided to ditch the hat, at least except for his outerwear. Sinjon said it covered up his face too much, and if he was ever going to be a movie star he'd need to be recognized.



Now, if only Gwenyth could fulfill her promise to him to make that lifetime wish of his come true . . .

[Shewolf13]

Still can't get over how beautiful Vera is.  She's just gorgeous.  And her wardrobe is just so her!  Hm... who could it be!  Must know!  *eye twitches as I try to figure it out*

Awww, poor Gwenyth!  *sniffle*  Don't worry Gwenyth, you'll see Carmen again.

[azokka361]

I can't believe I never noticed how handsome Sinjon is . . . then, I was always too busy concentrating on Gwenyth's epicness to pay attention to her underlings. Evan is too cute! I don't think he has the tilted eyes, which is a shame.

[shaunta]

Awesome, you should go for it! I'll be keeping an eye out. My very first post on this forum was the start of an Immortal Dynasty story, so don't feel shy about jumping right in!

I actually have another story in mind to start with and give my self some time to plan out a good strategy before setting out on that road! so be on the look out for something from me in a few days!

Yay!!  Now we can start reading Shaunta's stories!  I always enjoy your comments and look forward to reading your dynasty.  I actually read this dynasty and the Samura one before i even thought about trying to start Jamal's dynasty.

I thank you Pippn and really enjoy Jamal and his antics! I read Pam's Dreamwear's Dynasty first and that made want to read more from other people and it gave me many ideas on how to go about it! I am excited to try and  have been running some test games before hand!

>>> Ok for the real comment now lol- Sinjon is very smexy in a old school way. And Vera is gorgeous I love that hair from Uni it compliments so many different facial structures. Excellent update.

[maisie]

I'm so curious to see her future husband. 
Oh, and I know some sims that love plaing with the sprinkler, too. That thing has to be magical or something else...
By the way, I love the tone of this chapter. It gives even more depth into the charcter of Gwenyth.

[RainBeau]

That bittersweetness about Vera was so true. It was one of those times that a dynasty feels really real, especially in this unusual situation.

That. Lab. Is. Gorgeous. I think I need to completely redo the Callahan's lab now. I like yours much better. Wow. I seriously love it. Where do those overhead lights come from?

Did I mention I love the lab? I can't get over that.
