Oh boy, it has been a while! Steam had a winter sale. I got distracted. Let's see here ...
I really like this dynasty! As a DV player myself, it's also great to see other people getting into it. Word of warning though: In my experience, those Lawless genes usually overpower any other townie gene they come across, particularly lips.
The Orphanage has a great selection of potential spouses. It's been hard to pick which ones I'll use for the heirs.
Hehe, you tell him, Starshine! Can horses really ask rude guests to leave the lot? Because that would be hilarious. Nice to see Ava's coloring still going strong.
I'm not sure who asked him to leave. Everyone got a rude guest buff, including the pets, and Starshine was clearly not enjoying the man's presence. Ava's coloring, eh? Not her entire face? Because her line has been a series of matrilineal clones so far.
I just found this, and there are so many things I want to say, but the most important is:
Freddie got MARRIED?!?
What can I say? He found his soul mate.
Filly is gorgeous! I love her colouring. I can't wait to see who she marries!
You're in luck!

Chloe, having grown up in a boarding school, enjoyed the novelty of the dynasty house for a while. But, the weirder it got, the more she longed for a home of her own. With her son getting bigger by the day, she decided to strike out on her own.
She was able to afford through the kick-out option what buying a house on Clojo funds would not have accomplished. Everyone was impressed.
Meanwhile, Filly had set her sights on the next Clojo dynasty spouse. Corren Dwyer was such a dreamboat. Perhaps it was just her facial structure, but the Watcher had never seen a sim make moon-eyes at a romantic interest that way before.
Neither had Corren. The guy never stood a chance.
Filly called her mom and asked for her to meet them in the Renaissance Park with her wand and a cure potion. Morgana arrived just in time to roll her eyes at youthful nonsense.
Sadly, curing Corren also turned him into an old man. Who knows how long he'd been stuck in werewolf form. But, if it had kept him around, Filly had no complaints.
A Fountain of Youth potion and some time at the vanity table later, Corren was ready to enter the Clojo family. With his hair adjusted, he looked a lot like Lenny Kravitz, so the Watcher gave him some gold eyeliner because that's what Lenny was wearing the last time she saw him on screen.
Corren would prefer no one ever see some of his default outfits, but the watcher is going to show you anyway, because holy cow.
It's okay. In the end, he was looking very dapper indeed. This is what Filly saw when she entered their bedroom directly after his makeover.
And this is how she reacted:
Morgana, totally not spying from outside, bore witness to the proposal.
This time she didn't roll her eyes.
On Corren's first day in the house, the butler died trying to repair the phonograph.
Then Arthur got an impossible request from the hospital within his earshot.
A little later, a meteorite struck several hundred feet away from the house, but still somehow set the house on fire. It was in this moment that Corren realized that his bride to be seemed kind of fond of fires.
And that maybe Arthur had befriended Bonehilda after all.
It was a lot to take in.
Filly was amused but understanding and assured him that he'd grow to love it. He loved her, so he figured loving her family wouldn't be so hard in the grand scheme of things.
Though she'd wished to see her daughter married, Morgana was needed elsewhere. Somewhere out there, Liam was waiting.
The Watcher swears she saw Morgana smile right before she left the mortal coil.
Filly was heartbroken. She promised to make her mother proud before moving her obliesk into the family cemetery.
Grim had barely vanished from the Clojo premises when Luna woke up with a strange tingling sensation. Her husband was on the treadmill in the basement, running through the pain of losing his sister. She didn't want him to have to lose her too, but when the time comes, it comes.
Her last moments were spent staring wistfully at a long-ago photo of the two of them.
Poor Corren was there when Arthur finally made it up to the room. It was a hard day for everyone.
In the hours that followed, the house was hushed. Filly talked little Nebula through her first feelings of mourning. Comforting the little creature gave her a kind of comfort that only someone like Filly could ever truly understand.
Arthur spent those hours with his daughter. While the time spent together had started with much embracing and sobbing, it quickly developed into Arthur getting to know his daughter in a way he never had before, and regaling her with stories of how proud Luna had been of her. How proud they both had always been.
Whether Morgana and Luna could peek through the curtains of the beyond to see their family rally together so beautifully in a moment of grief, no one will ever know for certain.
But mortality is a funny thing. It's dark and sad and it makes us panic, but there's also that glimmer of encouragement to make the most of the time you've had. Especially when you lose someone who had been, in every way, truly, unquestioningly remarkable.
