When's the next update? It's killing me to know!!
Avery
Right now!
CALLED IT. EMRIN WON. DON'T MESS WITH A REAPER!!!
Who am I kidding, you wouldn't actually let one of the kids get taken away. It was going to work out perfectly. I love that you brought Asher into the picture though! I can't help but feel though that not wanting anything to do with your child means 'nothing' not 'let him know me as a friend'. If you didn't want to know the kid, you don't want to know the kid. The end. I can only hope his mindset begins to change. =D Noten is an angel!
Haha, yeah, no. Good for story telling, very hard to replicate with the game the way it is. Asher will be in and out of the picture, but I can't promise he'll be around very much. He was a tormented teen when Emrin found him and straightened him up, but his view of kids hasn't seemed to have changed much - though he and Noten are good friends.
Noten really is an angel though, he is the eldest and acts that way, though the boys age up together I often find myself having them assume the rolls of big-brother, little-brother just because Noten always seems to take the personality of the laid-back, calm and responsible older brother while Atrox is a little scattered and a tad childish (which is fine, he is a child, but Noten always acts older to me).
I mean, I know they're sims, and they are what I want them to be, essentially, but sometimes I swear they develop personalities of their own accord. It doesn't take very long for me to write their stories because they tend to write it for me!
Children are innocent anyway, we adult should learn more from them. They had quality that we lost when we grow up and all of us have that in their age. I love Asher more than Felix, he’s good and have father material than somebody who just barking away along the way
I can't wait to see someone lose face on detail looks in the next update. Great... nah, Awesome update, Livvie!
I completely agree with that statement. If we responded like children to more things in life I doubt there would be so much hate in the world... politics and adult stuff aside, Asher is a much more responsible adult than Felix - even though Felix is supposed to be older, Asher is a teen when you start up a game in Oasis Landing! Thank you though for always commenting! I always appreciate when I see you comment on here. I'm grateful to all of my readers but I love hearing feedback and everyone is always so kind.
I love Asher! He has a good father material; he looks so different from someone that we know. I just wonder why he didn't want to start a family with Emrin. Don't tell me that Asher is swing in another way as his reason I’ll be loved to know what his reason is, if you don’t mind.
But, I love Emrin more with Glitch though. You’re doing well with balancing the character personality that would be heir. This is what you should create at the beginning to avoid favoritism among reader, so at one point reader would be thinking over who is the one who suitable to be a heir. I hope that you’ll do that too in the future, it would be interesting when reader hard to choose the heir because everyone has their own reason both with their strength and weaknesses.
I wish for the good news, Livvie! I can't wait to hear it!
Asher actually has a girlfriend at the moment in game, not Emrin though. He was honestly one of the first guys I thought about marrying Emrin to from the start, but none of them really...
fit. If that makes any sense. I would visit house after house with her, looking for the "attraction" signs, and while some people had it with her... none of them seemed worthy. Glitch was an idea I stumbled into by accident, but he fit, it was just a moment where (and I'll quote what my mother usually says during Romantic Movies): "They just knew." (She always says that right at the moment when the two lovers of a movie reunite or confess their love, that they "just knew" they loved each other.)
I'm glad that I've kept the favoritism down this time, not that I mind it at all... I think it's kind of nice when you have people who have their reasons for liking one person over the other. I've basically mapped out the all of the next few generations depending on who wins... I've got a pretty cool story line I really, really want to mess around with. I really wanna tell someone about it, but I can't because that would RUIN the awesomeness of it all.
Ahem, anyways.
I've just found this story and I must say, it's absolutely fantastic! Keep on going, I'll be watching like a hawk for updates .
Thank you so much! I'm very glad I've interested you!
Anyways, I am just going to say before I start the update that I recently got a job... unfortunately Simming Professionally doesn't make very much money so I actually had to get a job (lol, I'm kidding, of course, I was always looking for one). While this job occured very abruptly, I'm always open to new opportunities. I'm not sure if I've ever spoken to anyone directly in this thread about what I do, but I am a cosmetologist, I do hair for a living. I'm living in the city doing some odd hours so I'm not sure how well I'll adjust to this new job. As for my schedule this week, I have family christmas away from home with my boyfriend's side tomorrow and the next day, and my family is taking up this upcoming weekend. I start my job on Friday, and my family is dropping my supplies off thursday. *phew* Anyways, not that you really need to know my whole life schedule.
- In short, I'm busy this week. In long... ^ read that. I am updating today as this is the last day I am for sure that I have time to update. I usually manage to find time when I get busy, but this message is a precaution just in case I am suddenly working all days late into the evenings and I just come home and crash next to my love.
That (hopefully) shouldn't happen, that message is just in case it does.
Erhm, sorry, the moment you've all been waiting for is processing in my brain, so I'm going to show you two pictures I know a LOT of people anticipated.
I BET YOU CAN'T TELL WHO THESE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN COME FROM!?
That's right. Falor and Demi had twins. Miles and Annie. Anyways, the update...
Daily Life
Now that the brothers no longer had to fear their separation, they began to grow closer than ever. The verdict to allow Emrin full custody of her children had been one of the best things to ever happen to those boys, and to the two guardians who loved them. Noten and Atrox grew to be quite the pair.
They're brothers, best friends, and playmates.
Both had big dreams and plans for their life.
Atrox wanted to fly to the moon. He wanted to live on another planet and to do anything and everything he could with the sciences.
Noten, on the other hand, wanted to take life a little easier. He wanted to lay around in the bright sands by the beach. He wanted to own several boats and not have to deal with anyone else's thoughts or rules unless he chose to.
Emrin loved and hated watching her little boys grow up. It felt like just yesterday the children were calling for her from their cribs and now they were days away from their teen birthday. Emrin worried for their schooling. She hoped their would be time for them to earn their keeps, so she took them back with her to Monte Vista to gather some more education.
The boys weren't overly thrilled that their first greeting back in the past was a notebook and pencils with makeup work inside.
Agnes was still there from her last visit, though she didn't even remember them being gone. Emrin just hugged her grandma and told her to not worry so much about things like that. Agnes was starting to lose her memories a little, but she always had time to read her great-grandchild a story to sleep.
She still has the "best mom" award down in my mind, though Emrin and Raven both come up very close behind.
It was the weekend in the middle of a Monte Vistan summer. Glitch began tutoring Noten in the living room while Atrox got some play in.
Though Atrox could only laugh at his brother's misfortune for so long before Glitch rounded Atrox over to sharpen his skills.
The boys enjoyed their time and finished out the weekend playing together.
And playing with their Uncle Vince (Dexter's younger brother, Vince, his father was Luigi, you may remember the time when Khang might've persuaded a young Ms. Monty to leave a certain Luigi? Well, she was heavily pregnant at that time with Vince. Just to put the timeline in place).
The boys slept peacefully on their last night as children. They would go to school tomorrow, come home and age up... it would be a very busy day indeed.
Neither one of the boys worried about heirship or their future... they were both content that their lives would be fulfilled.
Emrin never had the heart to explain to her children that they wouldn't be able to share as much as they did now when they grew older. She knew she couldn't avoid the subject much longer though.
For those who were ever concerned for Glitch and Emrin, you shouldn't worry. They're as romantic as ever. Even if their relationship is mainly on an intellectual basis. They love being in each other's company... and even though they can never have what some "normal" couples do, they were happy even still.
Emrin and Glitch had gone out for a day and they both ran into Demi carrying her little Annie.
I want to take a moment to admire the very amazing thing that is genetics. Oh, those eyes!
Erhm, the watcher is done flipping out over gorgeous Imaginary Friend genetics.
Life with the Reapers had become very calm and happy.
The boys got home from school to their birthday cakes, and I'll let those do the talking for the most part.
Noten aged up into his usually relaxed self.
Atrox decided to go with more style.
Both boys gained the Proper trait in accordance to Reaper Law.
Emrin watched her beautiful boys age with tears in her eyes. Everytime they grew closer she couldn't help but worry about this legacy tearing them apart. The poll wasn't that day, but Emrin could feel it breathing down her neck. She had no clue who the readers would choose, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know.
Her goofy boys were becoming men. That alone is enough to break a mother's heart.
A friendly reminder as a poll grows nearer
To Recap!
Noten: Loves the Heat, Sailor, Party Animal, Proper. Isla Paradiso.
Atrox: Loves the Outdoors, Easily Impressed, Bot Fan, Proper. Lunar Lakes.
Oh, and one last thing before we close here:
Laron Reaper.
Let's have a guess at who his parents are (though to me it's quite obvious, I'm not sure how obvious it will be to everyone else).
The family tree is updated fully, the answer to who Laron's parents IS on there, but let's be honest when guessing if you wish to participate in the no-prize-winning guessing game! Though asides from Laron, there isn't any unknown information on there. You can check out who's-dating-who (Isolde and Isabel have found lovers that I haven't yet been able to include, Cain is continuously showing off how happy he is with Paola and their two children.
All pictures on the Family tree are of those children as Young Adults. The only people who do not have pictures/not included are either because they are: 1. a child but part of the contending for heirship, so I wait until they are fully grown to add shots. 2. I can't seem to find them anywhere. 3. I didn't really feel like going into depth on 3rd/4th half, step, in-laws three-times-removed in the tree.
Anyways, thank you kindly for reading my rants. Happy Holidays! Feel free to comment, ask questions, throw in your best guess at Laron and speculate the heir poll!
